Booking the work for the 1 Series
For your 2012 BMW 1 Series, scratch repair starts with a short request. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your 1 Series, up close
Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. There are 8 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Getting a price
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. You can add a rental to the same request.
A rental meanwhile
Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Before you drop the car off
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
Why prices differ
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
How long it takes
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
Looking after it afterwards
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
