Your 2011 BMW 5 Series: the work
Book scratch repair for the 2011 BMW 5 Series, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
About your 5 Series
As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Its length is 4.90 m, so it is on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. There are 10 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
How to request it
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. You can add a rental to the same request. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
A rental while we work
We collect the rental when your car is ready. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
After the work
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
How long it takes
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
Pricing, plainly
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
What to bring
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Ready when you are
A short request is all it takes to get a price for your car.
