Auto paint for the 2012 BMW 3 Series
Book paint work for the 2012 BMW 3 Series, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
What your car means for the work
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. The length is 4.63 m. It fits most condo and driveway spots. There are 10 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Booking a time
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. You can add a rental to the same request. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Need a car meanwhile?
Add a rental to the same request as the work. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Getting the car ready
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
How the price is set
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
Keeping it that way
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
How long you are without it
Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.
Want a price?
When you are ready, a short request books the work.
Request auto paint
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
