Parking damage, dent or accident in Büren an der Aare: how the repair works
Büren an der Aare has a well-preserved old town on the south bank of the Aare, linked to Reiben by a wooden bridge since the 13th century. Where lanes, the bridge approach and parking bays are tight, the typical everyday damage occurs: scrapes on bumpers and mirrors, dents in doors, kerbed wheels. We remove small dents without harming the paint, touch up scratches with a spot repair and refurbish alloy wheels.
For larger damage after an accident, we straighten the body, replace damaged parts and paint in the original colour. So that you do not have to drive to Biel several times, everything starts online: upload a photo of the vehicle registration and photos of the damage and receive the indicative quote including VAT within 24 hours on working days. On request we collect the vehicle in Büren for the repair and bring it back. In the meantime a courtesy car is available on request.
Hail damage and stone chips: what drivers from Büren an der Aare should know
After a hailstorm, the cars affected in Büren are mostly those parked outdoors, in residential streets, in Reiben or in a company car park. Hail dents look dramatic but can often be repaired without filler or new paint: with paintless dent repair we press the metal back into shape dent by dent and the original paint is preserved. Hail is generally covered by partial comprehensive insurance, and the excess in your policy applies. You report the claim to your insurer and send us photos through the online damage report. We deal with the assessor and the billing.
Büren lies between the employment centres of Biel, Grenchen and Solothurn. Main road 22 bypasses the historic centre to the south, and the A5 at Lengnau is reached via the bridge and Reiben. Anyone driving these routes daily will sooner or later pick up a stone chip in the windscreen, chipped paint at the front or a rear-end bump. We repair small chips before the glass cracks, otherwise we replace it. As our workshop in Biel-Mett is on the Büren side of the city, dropping the car off fits easily into the commute.
Insurance, choice of garage and lease returns for customers from Büren an der Aare
After a claim the question quickly arises of who pays for what. For comprehensive claims we bill your insurer directly; for third-party claims, the insurer of the person at fault. As a rule you pay only the excess set out in your policy, and where the accident happened, in the canton of Bern or just across the border in Solothurn, makes no difference to how the claim is handled. If the insurer names a partner garage, your policy determines whether, and on what terms, you can choose your body shop freely; a look at the contract will tell you. If your policy provides a lower excess at the partner garage, that amount applies with us too: we cover the difference, and depending on the contract you save up to CHF 1'000. We deal with the assessor and the paperwork; all you need is your claim number and vehicle registration document.
If a lease return is coming up, it is worth checking the car before it goes back: dents, bumper scratches and damaged alloy wheels are quickly noticed at the handover. Send us photos through the online damage report and the indicative quote shows you what putting it right costs, so you can decide at your leisure. Small dents, spot repair, wheel refurbishment and paint polishing are done in a single appointment.
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 Büren an der Aare.
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.

Show allFrequently asked questions
I live in Reiben or Oberbüren. Does your collection service come out there, and is a courtesy car available?
＋
Yes, on request. We offer our collection and delivery service throughout the municipality on both sides of the Aare, as well as in neighbouring villages such as Meinisberg, Dotzigen and Rüti bei Büren, at home or at your workplace by arrangement. We agree the time together with the repair appointment. A courtesy car is available on request. Tell us when booking: you take it over when dropping your car off in Biel or, by arrangement, when we collect your vehicle.
Your workshop is in Biel. Do I have to drive there from Büren an der Aare just for a quote?
＋
No. In the online damage report you upload a photo of the vehicle registration and photos of the damage. On working days you receive an indicative quote including VAT within 24 hours, stating for example whether a spot repair is enough for a bumper scratch. The final price is set once we have inspected the car. The car only comes to Biel for the repair itself, and on request we take care of that journey too.
My car was hit by hail in Büren an der Aare. Should I contact my insurer first or you?
＋
You can do both in parallel. Report the hail damage to your insurer and send us photos through the online damage report. We coordinate the repair with the assessor and bill the insurer directly; as a rule you pay only the excess of your partial comprehensive cover. Where the paint is intact, we remove the dents without repainting.
I live in Büren and my lease car goes back in a few weeks. Does repairing scratches and dents first pay off?
＋
That depends on the damage and on your lease contract. Send us photos and you will receive an indicative quote that you can compare with what would be charged at the return. Book the appointment a little ahead of the return date; on request we collect the car in Büren.
