Can anyone recommend a reliable workshop, around DEHIWALA area, that can do corrosion work and re-painting? Thanks

Hi, I’m planning of buying a Mazda 3 or Axela near future (2004 model). I’ve searched and read so many posts related to this awesome car in autolanka forum and had a good understanding of it. I love the overall appearance and the performance of this car and I’m eager to own a one. However, I am bothered of one matter and hope the experts of this forum and existing owners could help me. In Internet, I’ve read many articles which mention that the Mazda 3 is not much “rust resistant”. Some articles (below links) says that the Mazda 3 is the “least rust resistant car” among other famous car brands. (Even worse than Kia, Hyundai) http://forums.redflagdeals.com/top-10-best-worst-rust-resistant-cars-1593327/ http://www.theautonet.com/en/2013/10/09/top-10-best-and-worst-rust-resistant-cars So, is the Mazda 3 actually that much of weak for rust/corrosion? Will that be a major issue when running the car in Colombo including the roads near coastal areas? Thanks
