Booking the work for the 500
Here is how we handle collision repair for the 2012 Fiat 500: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work.
Your 500, up close
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
The request
You can add a rental to the same request. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Stay on the road
Add a rental to the same request as the work. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Getting the car ready
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Planning around the work
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
Aftercare
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
What affects the price
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. We price the job before we start, never after. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work.
