Auto repair: your M
The 2012 BMW M needs body repair? Send photos and when it suits you. This is body repair. Mechanical work such as engines, brakes and oil changes is not part of it.
The car itself
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. As a small car, it is a straightforward size for this work. It is 4.91 m long. Check the size of a tight parking spot. There are 4 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. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
A rental while we work
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
When the car is ready
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
Why prices differ
Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.
On the day
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
After the work
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
Over to you
A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
