Auto paint: your Legacy/Outback
For paint work on the 2012 Subaru Legacy/Outback, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Size and finish
As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. There are 16 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Getting a price
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Driving while yours is in
We collect the rental when your car is ready. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
How long it takes
We keep you posted if the timing changes. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
Before you drop the car off
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Why prices differ
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work.
Your move
A quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Request auto paint
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
