Rust repair: your GL
Here is how we handle rust repair for the 1985 Subaru GL: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your GL
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. As a car, it is a straightforward size for this work. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What happens after you ask
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. You can add a rental to the same request. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
After the work
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
What to bring
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Planning around the work
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
How the price is set
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
Over to you
Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
