Booking the work for the 5 Series
Here is how we handle paint work for the 2000 BMW 5 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.
Size and finish
As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. It measures 4.72 m long by 1.75 m wide. It fits most condo and driveway spots. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking the work
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
Keep your week on track
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. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
How long you are without it
If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
What affects the price
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
Before you drop the car off
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. 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.
Looking after it afterwards
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
