Booking the work for the 3 Series
CarmaCars takes requests for scratch repair on the 2016 BMW 3 Series, and rents you a car while yours is in. 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
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What happens after you ask
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Keep your week on track
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
What goes into a quote
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
After the work
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
How long it takes
Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
A few things first
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Still deciding?
