Collision centre for the 2018 Subaru Forester
For your 2018 Subaru Forester, collision repair starts with a short request. 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.
Your Forester, up close
As a compact SUV, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Your request
You can add a rental to the same request. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
A rental meanwhile
A rental means the work does not stop your week. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
What goes into a quote
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
How long it takes
We keep you posted if the timing changes. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
A few things first
Ask any question you have before the work starts. 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.
After the work
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
Get an offer
When you are ready, a short request books the work.
