Your 2018 BMW M: the work
Book paint work for the 2018 BMW M, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. 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. As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. NHTSA lists 9 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What happens after you ask
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Stay on the road
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. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
How long it takes
If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
Aftercare
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
How the price is set
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
Getting the car ready
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. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
Talk to a person
Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
Request auto paint
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
