Paint touch up: the 2026 Subaru Forester
Need scratch repair for your 2026 Subaru Forester? Tell us about the car and when suits you. 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.
Your Forester, up close
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What to send us
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. You can add a rental to the same request.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Timing
A clear timeline comes with every quote. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
On the day
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
What goes into a quote
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.
Keeping it that way
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
