E36 & E46 Collision Repair

Collision repair for the BMW E36 and E46 — panels, bumpers, lights and structure — with insurance claims worked with you.

Ask for an estimate

After an accident we look the car over, write an estimate of the visible damage, and once the car is apart send a supplement for anything hidden behind it. Damaged panels are repaired or replaced, and the car is refinished to match.

An E36 or E46 can often be put back with good used panels and trim from donor cars in the right color and option — offered to you as used, on the estimate, if you want them.

What it costs

Every car is different at this age, so we price it once we have seen yours. You get a written estimate first and approve each job before we start; nothing is added without asking you.

Questions

Do you need the claim number?

If it is an insurance claim, yes — bring it, and the adjuster’s name if you have it.

Will I know the price before you start?

Yes. You get a written estimate by email with a private link, and you approve it job by job — or decline what you don’t want. We won’t go over the estimate you approved by more than Colorado allows (10% or 25 dollars, whichever is less) without asking you first.
