The work on your Forester
For rust repair on the 2011 Subaru Forester, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. NHTSA lists 16 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking a time
You can add a rental to the same request. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
A car while yours is in
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
What affects the price
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
After the work
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
How long you are without it
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
A few things first
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
