E36 & E46 Rust Repair

Rust repair for the E36 and E46 — wheel arches, sills, jacking points and the other usual spots — cut out and repaired properly.

Ask for an estimate

E36s and E46s rust in known places: the rear wheel arches, the sills and jacking points, the bottoms of the doors and around the windshield and trunk seals. Rust that is only sanded and painted over comes back.

We find how far it goes, cut out what is rotten, let in new metal, and protect and refinish it. We show you what we find before we cut.

Signs it needs doing

Bubbling paint on the arches or sills
Holes or soft metal at the jacking points
Rust at the bottom of the doors

What the job covers

Inspection of the usual rust spots
Rotten metal cut out and new metal welded in
Seam sealer, corrosion protection and refinish

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

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.
