Auto paint for the 2000 BMW 3 Series
Here is how we handle paint work for the 2000 BMW 3 Series: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
About your 3 Series
Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. NHTSA lists it at 4.47 m long. It fits most condo and driveway spots. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a quote
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
A rental meanwhile
While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Add a rental to the same request as the work. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
A few things first
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Why prices differ
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
How long you are without it
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days.
Looking after it afterwards
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
Ready when you are
When you are ready, a short request books the work.
