Your 2017 BMW i3: the work
Rust repair for your 2017 BMW i3? Start with a request; a person replies with a price and a time. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a price
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
A car while yours is in
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
Planning around the work
If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
Getting the car ready
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
What affects the price
We price the job before we start, never after. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.
Let us know
Ready when you are: send the details of the car.
