The work on your Forester
Here is how we handle scratch repair for the 2017 Subaru Forester: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. 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.
The car itself
A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking a time
You can add a rental to the same request. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
A rental meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the work. We collect the rental when your car is ready. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
When the car is ready
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
Keeping it that way
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
How the price is set
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.
On the day
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Still deciding?
Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
