Auto paint: the 2016 BMW i3
Your 2016 BMW i3 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.
What your car means for the work
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Your request
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Keep driving meanwhile
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
When the car is ready
Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
Aftercare
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
Before you drop the car off
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
What goes into a quote
Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person.

Ready when you are: send the details of the car.
