Booking the work for the i3
Need scratch repair for your 2018 BMW i3? Tell us about the car and when suits you. 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.
Size and finish
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. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
What to send us
You can add a rental to the same request. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Keep your week on track
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
What goes into a quote
The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
Planning around the work
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. We keep you posted if the timing changes.
Aftercare
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
A few things first
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
