Scratch repair: your M
Book scratch repair for the 2001 BMW M with a short request, and rent a car while yours is in. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
The car itself
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. It measures 4.49 m long by 1.76 m wide. It fits most condo and driveway spots. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What to send us
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Need a car meanwhile?
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
When the car is ready
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. A clear timeline comes with every quote.
Before you drop the car off
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
Why prices differ
The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
Aftercare
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Want a price?
A person reads your request and replies with a price and a time.
