Your 2016 Subaru Forester: the work
For rust repair on the 2016 Subaru Forester, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
The request
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Why prices differ
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
When the car is ready
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
On the day
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
After the work
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
When you know your dates
A short request is all it takes to get a price for your car.
