The work on your Forester
Your 1999 Subaru Forester needs scratch repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your Forester, up close
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. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking the work
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
A rental means the work does not stop your week. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
What affects the price
The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
After the work
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
A few things first
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
How long it takes
We keep you posted if the timing changes. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
