Rust repair for the 2012 BMW X5
Rust repair for the 2012 BMW X5: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
What your car means for the work
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
The request
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Keep driving meanwhile
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. A rental means the work does not stop your week. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Aftercare
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
Planning around the work
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
On the day
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
What affects the price
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work.
When you know your dates
Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
