    Your BMW 3 Series: the work

    CarmaCars takes requests for paint work on the BMW 3 Series, and rents you a car while yours is in. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.

    The car itself

    As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.

    Your request

    You can add a rental to the same request. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.

    Your car is in; you are not stuck

    We collect the rental when your car is ready. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.

    What goes into a quote

    The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. We price the job before we start, never after. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.

    Aftercare

    A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.

    How long you are without it

    Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.

    What to bring

    Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.

    Questions first?
