I recently purchased a 2012 Mazda 3 hatchback Skyactiv and I had the following services completed:
Robinson Automotive - Corrosion Free Rustproofing:
I had Corrosion Free rustproofing done at Robinson Automotive in Mississauga. It was their complete rust proofing package and they completed the work in 45min and they did a great job. I personally checked all the areas (including under the car) and they didn't miss a spot and there was no over-spray. I would say this product is more like a "oozing" gel and doesn't drip off your car. I think the manager was Mike, the son of the owner of this shop and he was very professional.
Audio Heaven - Speakers and Tints:
I had JL component speakers installed along with tints and it took about 6 hours in total. I also own a 2010 Acura TSX that also had tints done here 2 years ago and they still look great. The speakers sound great, there have been no issues and they did not scratch any exterior or interior surfaces during the install and returned the car spotless. The tints were done very well too, no bubbles, no cuts to the rubber seals and it fit all the windows 100% EXCEPT one area on right side of the car between the C and D pillars (hatchback/wagon). It's the glass posterior to the rare passenger roll down window. There was a 2mm space between the C pillar and the tint film and to be honest I didn't think much about it but when my girlfriend noticed she insisted I go see Jeff @ Audio Heaven about it. Jeff thought that their digital plotter probably cut it a little bit short because on the left side of the car the tint films are 100% flush with the pillars.
Jeff was very professional and immediately had me booked in to rectify the issue. I had my car in today and mid way through the install I was informed by one of his staff (Jeff was not in today) that they tried fitting in new digitally plotted films but it just doesn't fit 100% flush with the c pillar. It's definitely better than before, it's now just a 1mm space (vs 2mm) and they claimed it was because the Mazda c pillar/rubber seals were manufactured "odd and slanted slightly". I've included a picture and was just wondering if this is normal for other Mazda 3 owners? My TSX does not have this issue but overall I am very satisfied with the work done at Audio Heaven.

In person it's roughly 1mm, doesn't look as wide as in the zoomed in picture. What do you guys think? Is my girlfriend just nitpicking here? I just have to say again Jeff and Audio Heaven otherwise did great work and they were a pleasure to deal with, friendly, fast and professional.
