Auto paint for the 2002 BMW 3 Series
Your 2002 BMW 3 Series and paint work: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your 3 Series, up close
Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. NHTSA lists 7 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What happens after you ask
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
A car while yours is in
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Why prices differ
We price the job before we start, never after. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
How long you are without it
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.
Looking after it afterwards
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
On the day
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
Over to you
