Collision center: your Forester
Need collision repair for your 2003 Subaru Forester? Tell us about the car and when suits you. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work.
The car itself
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a price
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
After the work
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car.
Planning around the work
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
How the price is set
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
A few things first
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
Next step
Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
