The work on your Legacy

The 1998 Subaru Legacy needs scratch repair? Send photos and when it suits you. 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.

Size and finish

A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.

What to send us

Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.

Stay on the road

Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.

What to bring

If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.

Timing

Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.

How the price is set

We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. We price the job before we start, never after. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.

Looking after it afterwards

Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.

A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
