Paint touch up: your 3 Series
Your 2011 BMW 3 Series and scratch repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. 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.
The car itself
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Getting a quote
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Aftercare
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
What to bring
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
How long it takes
If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
What goes into a quote
Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
When you know your dates
Book the work and a rental in one request.
Request paint touch up
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
