The 2005 MINI Cooper: Scratch repair
Book scratch repair for the 2005 MINI Cooper 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
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Your request
You can add a rental to the same request. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Need a car meanwhile?
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
A few things first
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
Keeping it that way
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
How the price is set
The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
How long you are without it
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.
