Booking the work for the Legacy

Your 1998 Subaru Legacy needs paint work? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.

What your car means for the work

A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.

The request

Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.

A rental meanwhile

Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.

On the day

Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.

After the work

Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.

Planning around the work

Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.

What goes into a quote

Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.

Make a request

Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
