The 1997 BMW M: Paint touch up
Your 1997 BMW M needs scratch repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. 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.
Your M, up close
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. The body is 4.43 m long and 1.71 m wide. It fits most condo and driveway spots. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a price
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Ask anything about the work in the request. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Keep your week on track
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
How the price is set
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
What to bring
Ask any question you have before the work starts. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Keeping it that way
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
When the car is ready
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
