The 2003 BMW 3 Series: Paint touch up
Paint touch up for the 2003 BMW 3 Series: tell us about the car, and a person replies with a price and a time. 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.
What your car means for the work
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
How to request it
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. You can add a rental to the same request. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
A car while yours is in
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Looking after it afterwards
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
What affects the price
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
Getting the car ready
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Timing
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
