The work on your Legacy
The 2012 Subaru Legacy needs rust repair? Send photos and when it suits you. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As a large sedan, it is a straightforward size for this work. NHTSA lists 16 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What to send us
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Ask anything about the work in the request. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
Need a car meanwhile?
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
How long it takes
If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
What affects the price
The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
Before you drop the car off
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
After the work
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
Want a price?
Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
