Booking the work for the M
For the 2008 BMW M, collision repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. 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.
The car itself
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. At 4.62 m from bumper to bumper, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots. NHTSA lists 8 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking the work
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. You can add a rental to the same request.
A car while yours is in
We collect the rental when your car is ready. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Planning around the work
Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
Why prices differ
Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
Getting the car ready
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Aftercare
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Want a price?
Send a request with the car and the work, and we reply with a price and a time.
