The work on your Forester
Scratch repair for your 2002 Subaru Forester? Start with a request; a person replies with a price and a time. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
Size and finish
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Keep your week on track
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. A rental means the work does not stop your week. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
What goes into a quote
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
A few things first
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Planning around the work
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.
Keeping it that way
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Questions first?
Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
