Your 3 Series and scratch repair
For scratch repair on the 2001 BMW 3 Series, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
The car itself
Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. It is 4.49 m from end to end. It fits most condo and driveway spots. There are 7 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
From request to appointment
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
A rental while we work
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. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
After the work
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
On the day
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
How long you are without it
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
What affects the price
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
Questions first?
Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
