The work on your i3
Your 2018 BMW i3 needs collision repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. 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.
Size and finish
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
How to request it
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Driving while yours is in
Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Add a rental to the same request as the work. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
After the work
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
What goes into a quote
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
A few things first
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
Timing
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.
