Panel beating and paintwork in Biel: parking and bodywork damage from city traffic
Anyone who drives and parks in Biel knows the situations: narrow bays in the blue zone, cramped multi-storey car parks, dense traffic around the station and in the centre. The result is rarely a major accident, but rather scratches on the bumper, a dent in a door or a grazed wing. This is exactly the kind of damage we are set up for. Small dents without paint damage are removed by paintless dent repair, while scratches and scuffs are dealt with by spot repair or a partial respray in the original colour.
So that you do not have to cross the city twice, report the damage online: you upload a photo of the vehicle registration and a few photos of the damage. On working days you receive an indicative quote including VAT within 24 hours. Only once you agree do we arrange the appointment. On request we collect the car from your home or workplace in Biel and return it after the repair.
Insurance, excess and hail damage: free choice of garage in Biel/Bienne
Many people in Biel have a policy with a partner garage model and assume that after a claim they must go to the workshop the insurer suggests. Your policy sets out what applies; often the choice remains yours, but with a higher excess. With us you pay the same excess as at your insurer's partner garage: we cover the difference, which saves you up to CHF 1'000 depending on your policy. We bill every insurer directly and take care of the claim report and the coordination with the assessor. You sign what is needed and get your car back repaired.
After a hailstorm over Biel, many vehicles in the city are affected at the same time. Photograph the roof, bonnet and boot lid in good light, note the date and place and report the damage to your insurer; hail is generally covered by partial comprehensive insurance (Teilkasko). Where the paint is intact, we remove the dents by paintless dent repair, so the original paintwork is preserved. Where it has cracked, we respray in our own paint shop.
Bilingual like the city: your body shop between the lake and the foot of the Jura
Biel/Bienne is officially bilingual, and that is how we work too. You receive the quote, the damage discussion and the settlement with the insurer in German or in French, just as you prefer. This matters particularly with a claim, when details such as the excess, the courtesy car or the repair time are at stake and nothing should be misunderstood.
The city's setting also shapes the damage. Those who live on the Rebberg or towards Evilard often park on steep, narrow residential streets. Commuters from the Bözingenfeld industrial area use the A5 every day and come back with stone chips in the windscreen. And in summer a thunderstorm with hail occasionally passes over the Seeland. We are set up for all of it: windscreen replacement, paintless dent repair and paintwork under one roof, with a courtesy car available on request during the repair.
Servicing, MFK (roadworthiness test) preparation, tyres and mechanical work are handled by our sister company at the same address: Garage K.I., your car garage for Biel/Bienne.
Save up to CHF 1'000
The same excess as at your insurer’s partner garage
Many policies charge a higher excess if you do not go to the insurer’s partner garage. With us you still pay only the excess you would have there: we cover the difference. That way you save up to CHF 1'000 and still choose your body shop freely.
CHF 50 less
CHF 50 less than your partner garage’s quote
Bring the written quote of a partner garage or an independent body shop for the same repair: we do it CHF 50 cheaper, for example CHF 450 instead of CHF 500, incl. VAT. In Biel/Bienne, the on-site damage assessment is free.

Show allFrequently asked questions
I live in Biel and need my car every day. Do you collect it, and can I get a courtesy car?
＋
Both are possible on request. We also offer collection and delivery for short trips within the city, for example to Vingelz, Madretsch, Bözingen or the centre: by arrangement we collect the vehicle from your home or workplace and return it repaired. A courtesy car is available on request for the duration of the repair. Tell us when you book, so that we can plan for both.
I found a scratch on my car in a Biel car park and whoever caused it has gone. What should I do?
＋
Photograph the damage on the spot if possible, with an overview and close-ups, and report it to us online. On working days you receive an indicative quote including VAT within 24 hours. You can then see whether a claim is worthwhile, for example under parking damage cover, or whether paying for the repair yourself costs less than the excess and any loss of your no-claims bonus. What is covered depends on your policy.
My leased car is due back soon and has scratches and dents from Biel city traffic. Is it worth repairing them first?
＋
Often yes, because damage beyond normal wear and tear is generally charged when the car is returned; your lease agreement is what counts. Report the affected areas online with photos a few weeks before the return date. You receive an indicative quote including VAT for spot repair, paintless dent repair or alloy wheel refurbishment and can decide at your leisure what to have fixed before the return.
How much does a body shop repair cost in Biel?
＋
It depends on the damage: which parts are affected, whether they need to be pushed out, filled or replaced, how much area is painted and which colour it is. Flat rates would therefore be inaccurate. Report the damage online with photos; on working days you receive an indicative quote including VAT within 24 hours. If the damage is insured, you generally pay only the excess; your policy is what counts.
How far is it from Biel/Bienne to Carrosserie K.I.?
＋
We are in the centre of Biel, Südstrasse 2, 2504 Biel/Bienne.
My policy specifies a partner garage. Can I still come to Carrosserie K.I. from Biel/Bienne?
＋
Yes. You are free to choose your body shop. If your policy requires a higher excess outside the partner garage, we cover the difference: you pay the same excess as at your insurer’s partner garage and save up to CHF 1'000.
No appointment, no waiting.
