Your 2001 BMW 5 Series: the work
Here is how we handle scratch repair for the 2001 BMW 5 Series: the request, the work 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.
What your car means for the work
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. It measures 4.78 m long by 1.80 m wide. Check the size of a tight parking spot. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking the work
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
A rental while we work
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
What goes into a quote
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
After the work
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car.
Planning around the work
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.
What to bring
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. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Ready to ask?
Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
