Your Forester and collision repair
Your 2004 Subaru Forester and collision repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. 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. As an SUV, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
What to send us
You can add a rental to the same request. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
Need a car meanwhile?
While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
How long it takes
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days.
How the price is set
Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
On the day
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Aftercare
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
One more step
When you are ready, a short request books the work.
