Paint correction: your 1 Series
Searching for paint correction for the 2012 BMW 1 Series? Here is how CarmaCars handles it. Paint correction is machine polishing that takes out swirls and light scratches; deep scratches may need paint.
The car itself
Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. As a small car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately.
How to request it
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. You can add a rental to the same request. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Driving while yours is in
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Getting the car ready
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Empty the trunk and the door pockets so every surface can be reached. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
When the car is ready
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. We keep you posted if the timing changes.
How the price is set
Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
After the work
Corrected paint stays glossy longer with gentle hand washing. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Make a request
A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
