Your 2004 BMW 3 Series: the work
Paint touch up for your 2004 BMW 3 Series? Start with a request; a person replies with a price and a time. 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.
About your 3 Series
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Your request
Ask anything about the work in the request. You can add a rental to the same request. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Keep your week on track
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. 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. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
A few things first
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. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
What goes into a quote
The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
After the work
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.
When the car is ready
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. We keep you posted if the timing changes.
When you know your dates
Start with photos and a short description.
