Smart repair for Leubringen: scrapes from steep driveways and narrow garages
Leubringen sits on the southern slope of the Jura high above Biel, and on the slope driveways are often steep and garages narrow. That is where the classic hillside damage happens: grounded front bumpers, scratched sills, a scraped rear wing when reversing into the garage and kerbed alloy wheels. We repair these spots precisely, paint only the affected area and repair wheels where the damage allows. Often your car is back up the hill with you after a short time. If you are about to return a leased car, have such marks assessed beforehand: the indicative quote shows you what the repair costs.
Body shop for Magglingen: winter, forest and wildlife
Magglingen is considerably higher again than Leubringen, in the middle of the forest and known for the Federal Office of Sport. The road up runs through bends and wooded stretches, and in winter snow settles there earlier than down in town. The results are slides into a crash barrier or snowbank, grit in the paint and stone chips in the windscreen, plus wildlife on the road at dusk. We repair panel damage, replace glass and touch up paint chips before rust sets in.
After a collision with wildlife, call the police or the game warden and have the incident confirmed, because insurers generally ask for that confirmation. Then report the damage to us online with photos. On working days you receive an indicative quote including VAT within 24 hours, and we bill your insurer directly. If you would rather save the trip, we collect the car in Magglingen or Leubringen on request, provided it can still be driven.
Hail, excess and courtesy car: stay mobile, even when the funicular is not enough
Leubringen and Magglingen are each linked to Biel by a funicular. That is enough for commuting to the centre, but rarely for shopping, children and appointments outside town. That is why a courtesy car is available on request during the repair. You stay flexible financially too: if your insurer charges a higher excess outside its partner garage, we cover the difference. You pay the same excess as there and save up to CHF 1'000, depending on your contract, while choosing your body shop freely.
After a hailstorm on the southern slope of the Jura, what matters is knowing quickly where you stand. Report the damage to your insurer and send us photos through the online damage report. If the paint is intact, we push the dents out from the inside (paintless dent repair, PDR) and the original paint is preserved. Cracked paint and badly deformed panels are repaired and painted conventionally. Billing is settled directly between us and your insurer, whichever company you are with.
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 Leubringen/Magglingen.
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.
