The work on your M
Searching for collision centre for the 1997 BMW M? Here is how CarmaCars handles it. 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 M, up close
Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Measured bumper to bumper, it is 4.43 m. It fits most condo and driveway spots. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Getting a price
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Need a car meanwhile?
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. 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. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Aftercare
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
Pricing, plainly
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
When the car is ready
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
On the day
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
