The work on your Forester
Rust repair for the 2002 Subaru Forester: tell us about the car, and a person replies with a price and a time. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your Forester
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
The request
You can add a rental to the same request. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
A rental meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the work. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
What to bring
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
Why prices differ
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. We price the job before we start, never after. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.
Aftercare
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
How long it takes
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. We keep you posted if the timing changes.
When you know your dates
Start with photos and a short description.
