Booking the work for the Forester
This page covers collision repair for the 2011 Subaru Forester, and a rental while the car is with us. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request.
What your car means for the work
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. NHTSA lists 16 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
The request
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
A rental while we work
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Planning around the work
Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
What goes into a quote
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
On the day
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. 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.
Your move
