Paint correction for the 2012 BMW 3 Series
For the 2012 BMW 3 Series, paint correction starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Paint correction is machine polishing that takes out swirls and light scratches; deep scratches may need paint.
The car itself
As a small car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. NHTSA lists it at 4.63 m long. It fits most condo and driveway spots.
Getting a price
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
A rental while we work
We collect the rental when your car is ready. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
How long it takes
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
Getting the car ready
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
After the work
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
What affects the price
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.
