Your Forester and collision repair
Collision centre for your 2003 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.
About your Forester
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking a time
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. You can add a rental to the same request. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
Driving while yours is in
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Before you drop the car off
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
What affects the price
Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
After the work
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
Timing
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.
