Your 2012 Subaru Impreza: the work

CarmaCars takes requests for rust repair on the 2012 Subaru Impreza, and rents you a car while yours is in. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.

Size and finish

As a wagon, it is a straightforward size for this work. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.

Your request

Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.

Keep your week on track

Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.

On the day

Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.

Keeping it that way

Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.

What affects the price

Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one.

How long you are without it

We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
