The 2003 Subaru Forester: Paint touch up
Paint touch up for the 2003 Subaru Forester: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
About your Forester
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. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
The request
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. 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.
Driving while yours is in
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Planning around the work
Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
Getting the car ready
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
How the price is set
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
Keeping it that way
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
