A body shop in Moutier or in Biel? What to expect from us
There are garages and body shops in Moutier and along the valley, and for some jobs a short trip is the best argument. So we tell you plainly what to expect from us, so that you can compare for yourself. First, the quote without a journey: you upload the vehicle registration and photos of the damage and, on working days, receive an indicative quote including VAT within 24 hours. That lets you compare at your leisure before deciding. Second, the excess: if your policy provides for a lower excess at the insurer's partner garage, you still pay only that lower amount with us.
Third, the logistics. On request we collect the vehicle in Moutier and bring it back repaired, or you drive to Biel yourself and, if you wish, take a courtesy car for the duration of the work. As a rule that means just one outward and one return journey. Fourth, everything under one roof: straightening and panel work, paintwork in the original colour, paintless dent repair and glass replacement are all done in our own workshop, for all makes, with direct billing to your insurer.
Moutier in the canton of Jura: insurance, hail and excess
Since 1 January 2026 Moutier has no longer belonged to the canton of Bern but to the canton of Jura. For the repair of your car this changes nothing: your choice of body shop does not depend on the canton, and we bill every insurer directly. Whether your vehicle carries Bernese or Jura number plates makes no difference to the handling of the claim. You give us the insurer and the claim number; we take care of the quote, the assessor's queries and the invoice.
After a hailstorm over the Moutier area, report the damage to your insurer first and then online to us. Hail is generally covered by partial comprehensive insurance; your own policy is what counts. As long as the paint is intact, we push the dents out by paintless dent repair, which preserves the original paint. For the excess, the same applies as for parking damage or a collision: we cover the difference to the partner garage's lower excess, which can save you up to CHF 1'000 depending on your policy. If you are unsure what your policy says, we are happy to go through it with you.
Between the Birs gorges: stone chips, parking dents and lease returns around Moutier
Moutier lies on the river Birs, framed by the Gorges de Court upstream and the Gorges de Moutier downstream, between the Graitery and the Raimeux. Via the A16 junctions Moutier-Nord and Moutier-Sud, the town known for automatic lathes is linked to both Delémont and Biel. But a lot of motorway, tunnel and gorge driving also means stone chips in the windscreen and on the front of the car, plus grit and salt in winter. We repair a stone chip whenever that is possible; otherwise we replace the windscreen. Paint chips on the bonnet and bumper are fixed by spot repair, without repainting the whole panel.
Parking dents are pushed out by paintless dent repair if the paint is intact; scratches are touched up in the paint shop. If whoever caused the damage drove off, record it with photos and report it to the police and to your insurer. If a leased vehicle is due to go back soon, send us photos a few weeks beforehand: we will tell you which dents, scratches and wheel damage are worth putting right before the return. And if you bring the car yourself and do not need a courtesy car, you can go home by train: Moutier and Biel are on the same line, via Grenchen Nord.
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 Moutier.
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
There are body shops in Moutier. Why should I take my car to one in Biel?
＋
The best way to decide is to compare. With us it takes hardly any driving and can save you money on the excess: after reporting the damage online you receive the indicative quote including VAT within 24 hours on working days, without a trip to Biel. We then collect the car on request or you take a courtesy car if you wish, we bill your insurer directly and we cover the difference to the partner garage's lower excess. Feel free to compare our quote with one from Moutier.
Moutier now belongs to the canton of Jura. Can I still have my car repaired in Biel?
＋
Yes. Your choice of body shop is not tied to your canton of residence, and we bill every insurer directly. The change of canton on 1 January 2026 has no effect on the repair or on the handling of the claim, and neither do your number plates.
I don't have time to drive from Moutier to Biel. Do you collect the car, and is a courtesy car available?
＋
Both are possible on request. We collect vehicles in Moutier and in neighbouring villages such as Perrefitte, Belprahon or Court and bring them back after the repair. If you prefer to drive to Biel yourself, you can have a courtesy car on request for the duration of the work. Report the damage online first, then tell us which you prefer when booking the appointment on 032 552 00 03.
My car was hit by hail or a stone chip in Moutier. Do I have to come to Biel for the quote?
＋
Not for the indicative quote. Upload photos in the online damage report; for hail, ideally of the roof, bonnet and sides in low-angle light. We will tell you whether paintless dent repair is likely to be enough and whether the windscreen can be repaired or needs replacing. The work itself is carried out in the workshop in Biel, and we bill your insurer directly.

My policy specifies a partner garage. Can I still come to Carrosserie K.I. from Moutier?
＋
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.
Is the journey from Moutier to Biel worth it?
