Collision centre for the 2017 BMW i3
CarmaCars takes requests for collision repair on the 2017 BMW i3, and rents you a car while yours is in. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request.
About your i3
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. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
How to request it
You can add a rental to the same request. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Need a car meanwhile?
Add a rental to the same request as the work. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Keeping it that way
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
When the car is ready
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days.
How the price is set
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
Getting the car ready
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
Ready when you are
A short request is all it takes to get a price for your car.
