Your 2018 Subaru Forester: the work
For the 2018 Subaru Forester, scratch repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. 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.
What your car means for the work
As a compact SUV, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Booking the work
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Keep driving meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is ready. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
When the car is ready
Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.
Why prices differ
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail.
Keeping it that way
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Getting the car ready
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. 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.
