For the 2007 Subaru Forester, rust repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your Forester
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
What happens after you ask
Ask anything about the work in the request. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
A rental meanwhile
Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. 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 meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
A few things first
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Pricing, plainly
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person.
Keeping it that way
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
Planning around the work
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.
