Paint touch up for the 2012 BMW 5 Series
Book scratch repair for the 2012 BMW 5 Series with a short request, and rent a car while yours is in. 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
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
The request
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
A car while yours is in
A rental means the work does not stop your week. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Before you drop the car off
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
How long you are without it
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
Why prices differ
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
Keeping it that way
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
Questions first?
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
