Rust repair: the 2017 Subaru WRX
Here is how we handle rust repair for the 2017 Subaru WRX: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
The request
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
Driving while yours is in
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Add a rental to the same request as the work. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Pricing, plainly
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
When the car is ready
A clear timeline comes with every quote. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.
Before you drop the car off
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
