The work on your 5 Series
Book scratch repair for the 2004 BMW 5 Series, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. 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
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. With a length of 4.85 m, it counts as on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking the work
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. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Timing
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.
How the price is set
The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
What to bring
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Aftercare
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
