Your X6 and rust repair
Rust repair for your 2012 BMW X6? Start with a request; a person replies with a price and a time. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. There are 10 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
From request to appointment
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Ask anything about the work in the request.
A car while yours is in
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
How the price is set
A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
Getting the car ready
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
How long it takes
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
Looking after it afterwards
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Ready when you are
Book the work and a rental in one request.
