The 2016 Subaru Forester: Collision center
Collision center for your 2016 Subaru Forester? Start with a request; a person replies with a price and a time. 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
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a quote
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
How long it takes
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
Pricing, plainly
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
Looking after it afterwards
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
Getting the car ready
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
Make a request
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.

Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
