From Orpund to Mett: a short trip to the body shop, from Gottstatt and Zihlwil too
Besides the village itself, the municipality of Orpund includes the former Gottstatt monastery on the Nidau-Büren canal and the hamlet of Zihlwil. The same applies to all three: our workshop is in Biel-Mett, on the side of the city facing Orpund, so you neither have to drive through Biel's city centre nor travel far. Before you set off, report the damage online with a few photos. That way you know roughly what the repair will cost before your first visit, and you only come to us for the agreed appointment.
If you need a car during the repair, we reserve a courtesy car on request. If the trip to Biel does not suit you at all, we collect the vehicle from your home in Orpund, Gottstatt or Zihlwil on request and bring it back finished. It is best to mention both when you report the damage, so we can plan them together with the appointment.
Wildlife collision or stone chip on the way to or from Orpund: what to do now
Between Orpund and the neighbouring villages of Safnern, Scheuren and Schwadernau you often drive on country roads, and especially at dusk a deer or other wild animal can leap onto the road. After a wildlife collision, first secure the scene and report the accident to the police on 117 straight away, even if the animal has run off. Then photograph the front, headlights and wings. Wildlife damage is generally covered by partial comprehensive (Teilkasko) insurance; your policy is what counts. You will need the police confirmation for the insurer; we handle the rest of the process with them.
Anyone commuting via the A5 Orpund/Biel-Mett junction knows the second typical kind of damage: a stone chip in the windscreen. A small chip can often be repaired as long as it is not in the driver's field of vision and no crack has formed yet. If it spreads, we replace the screen. So it is better to report a stone chip early, with a close-up photo.
Minor damage outside your home: pay yourself or claim on your insurance?
A scratch from the garden gate, a dent while reversing out of the driveway, a scuffed bumper while parking in the village: with minor damage, many people wonder whether it is worth claiming on their insurance. As a rule, a liability or fully comprehensive claim can affect your premium level, and the excess comes on top; your policy is what counts. Our indicative quote including VAT, which you receive within 24 hours on working days, gives you a clear figure to compare with the excess and premium before you decide.
If you decide to claim, we bill the insurer directly and coordinate the repair with the claims assessor. If you pay yourself, we choose the method that suits the damage: dents without paint damage are pushed out by paintless dent repair, and surface scratches are treated with spot repair rather than repainting the whole panel.
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 Orpund.
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 Orpund, the on-site damage assessment is free.

I live in Gottstatt or Zihlwil. Do you collect the car there too?
＋
Yes, on request. Gottstatt and Zihlwil belong to the municipality of Orpund, and we offer our collection and delivery service there just as in the village and in the neighbouring villages of Safnern, Scheuren and Schwadernau. We agree a time slot, collect the vehicle from you and bring it back after the repair. Mention it in the online damage report or call us on 032 552 00 03.
I work in Biel. Can I drop the car off with you in the morning on my way in from Orpund?
＋
Yes, that works well, because our workshop in Biel-Mett lies on the way from Orpund into Biel. Book an appointment beforehand so that we can take the car straight away. If you then need a vehicle to get to work or back home, we reserve a courtesy car for you on request.
After a hailstorm my car in Orpund has dents. Do I have to wait for the insurer's assessor?
＋
First report the damage to your insurer and, at the same time, send us photos of the roof, bonnet and sides via the online damage report. Hail is generally covered by partial comprehensive (Teilkasko) insurance; your policy and its excess are what count. We take care of the coordination with the assessor and then bill the insurer directly. Dents with intact paint are removed by paintless dent repair, and we collect the car in Orpund on request.
After an accident near Orpund my car can no longer be driven. Can it be taken straight to you?
＋
Yes. First secure the scene and, if anyone is injured, call the ambulance on 144 and the police on 117. Towing is generally arranged by your insurer or your breakdown service; your policy is what counts. You can give our workshop as the destination: Carrosserie K.I., Südstrasse 2, 2504 Biel/Bienne. Give us a quick call on 032 552 00 03 so that we are prepared, and we will handle the rest of the process with the insurer.
