The 2012 BMW 5 Series: Auto paint
For the 2012 BMW 5 Series, paint work starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
The car itself
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Booking a time
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. You can add a rental to the same request.
A car while yours is in
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Pricing, plainly
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
Aftercare
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
Getting the car ready
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
How long you are without it
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
One more step
Send a request with the car and the work, and we reply with a price and a time.
Request auto paint
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
