Your 2016 BMW i3: the work
Book scratch repair for the 2016 BMW i3, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
Your i3, up close
Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
How to request it
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Ask anything about the work in the request. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
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. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
What to bring
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
After the work
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car.
Why prices differ
Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.
Timing
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
Still deciding?
Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
