Booking the work for the Forester
Book windshield repair for the 2002 Subaru Forester, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. A small chip in the windshield can often be repaired before it spreads into a crack.
What your car means for the work
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. As an SUV, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Your request
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Need a car meanwhile?
Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
How long you are without it
We keep you posted if the timing changes. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.
Keeping it that way
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
Getting the car ready
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. 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.
What affects the price
The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
Ready when you are
A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
