Rust repair: the 2018 BMW i3
This page covers rust repair for the 2018 BMW i3, and a rental while the car is with us. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
What your car means for the work
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. As a small car, it is a straightforward size for this work. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
From request to appointment
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Stay on the road
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Planning around the work
A clear timeline comes with every quote. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
A few things first
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Pricing, plainly
We price the job before we start, never after. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
After the work
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
One more step
When you are ready, a short request books the work.
