A Fribourg municipality with Seeland habits: repairs in Biel without detours
Kerzers belongs to the See/Lac district of the canton of Fribourg, yet in daily life it often looks towards the Seeland: Lyss, Aarberg, Bern and Biel. Kerzers station lies on the Bern–Neuchâtel and Murten–Lyss lines, and the way towards Lyss and Biel is familiar to many. A repair in Biel therefore hardly means reorganising your week. Most of it you do from home: upload the vehicle registration and photos of the damage in the online damage report and wait for the indicative quote. Only once price and date are settled does the car go to Biel.
For the time the car is in the workshop there are two options. On request we collect the vehicle in Kerzers, Fräschels or Ried bei Kerzers and bring it back repaired. If you would rather bring it yourself, a courtesy car is ready for you if you want one. Advice is given in German or French, whichever you prefer here on the language border.
Vehicles from market gardening in the Grosses Moos: scratches, dents, stone chips
Around Kerzers, vegetables are grown in the Grosses Moos, and anyone working in that setting depends on their vehicles. Narrow farm tracks, gravel and undergrowth leave scratches on side panels and bumpers, loading leaves dents in tailgates and doors, and loose surfaces send grit into the front end and windscreen. Such damage often looks worse than it is: small dents with intact paint are pushed out without repainting, and scratches are treated with spot repair rather than repainting a whole panel.
During the season, what matters most is how long a vehicle is off the road. In the damage report, give the make, model and the period that suits you, including for a van or company vehicle. The indicative quote shows what the repair costs including VAT, and we set the date so that it fits around your business.
Hail over the Grosses Moos: record the damage before you look for an appointment
On the open plain between Kerzers, Galmiz and Müntschemier, a hailstorm often hits many cars at once. Insurers and workshops are then very busy, and good documentation saves time. Photograph the roof, bonnet, boot lid and sides in low-angle light, note the date and place, and report the damage to your insurer first. Hail is as a rule covered by partial comprehensive insurance; what counts is your policy.
With the claim number and photos, you then report the case to us online. On working days you receive an indicative quote within 24 hours; we coordinate the repair with the insurer’s assessor and bill the insurer directly. If the paint is intact, paintless dent repair preserves it; where large hailstones have damaged it, we repaint the panels in the original colour.
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 Kerzers.
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 Kerzers, in the canton of Fribourg. Will my insurer cover a repair in Biel?
＋
Living and having the repair done in different cantons as a rule makes no difference; what counts is your policy. We bill every insurer directly. If your contract names a partner garage and charges a higher excess for choosing freely, you pay the same excess with us as there; we cover the surcharge up to CHF 1'000.
Fräschels, Ried bei Kerzers or Galmiz: does your collection service reach these neighbouring villages too?
＋
On request, yes. Mention that you would like a collection directly in the online damage report. We clarify with you whether and when a collection is possible and what it costs before we fix the repair date.
How do I get back to Kerzers if I drop the car off in Biel myself?
＋
If you wish, you continue in a courtesy car; tell us when you book and we will reserve it. If you travel by train anyway, you can also plan your return to Kerzers station with the timetable and pick the car up in Biel once it is repaired.
Someone hit my car on the way to the Papiliorama. What should I do now?
＋
Record the place and time, photograph the damage and exchange details with the other party, ideally using the European accident report form. Report the case to your insurer; if the other side is at fault, it is as a rule settled through their liability insurance, and the policies are what count. If your car is still roadworthy, send us the photos through the online damage report and you will receive an indicative quote within 24 hours on working days.
