Booking the work for the M
Here is how we handle rust repair for the 2018 BMW M: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
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. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
A rental while we work
Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
What goes into a quote
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. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
Timing
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
After the work
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
On the day
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. 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.
Next step
Start with photos and a short description.
