From Studen to the workshop in Biel: collection, courtesy car or train
If you live in Studen and work in Lyss, Bern or Biel, you rarely have time for a workshop visit during the day. That is why much of our process runs without you being present: in the online damage report you upload the vehicle registration and photos of the damage, and the indicative quote arrives within 24 hours on working days. If it suits you and you would like us to, we collect the car in Studen on the agreed date and bring it back after the repair. Questions can be settled by phone on 032 552 00 03.
Would you rather bring the car yourself? Then you have two ways of getting home. Either you ask us for a courtesy car for the duration of the repair, so your commute carries on as usual. Or you travel back from Biel by train: Studen has its own station on the Biel–Bern line. Simply state your preference in the damage report and we plan the appointment accordingly.
Hail, parking damage, stone chips: typical damage to cars from Studen
After a hailstorm over the Seeland, many cars are left with dents in the roof and bonnet. If the paint is intact, we press the dents out without repainting and the original paint is preserved. Hail is generally covered by partial comprehensive insurance; we record the damage and bill the insurer directly. For parking damage, such as scratches on the bumper or a dent in a door, a localised spot repair is often enough instead of a full respray. Photograph the damage as soon as you can and send the pictures via the online damage report.
Then there is what comes with having your own junction on the expressway between Biel and Bern: stone chips in the windscreen, paint chips on the bonnet and bumper, and rear-end bumps in slow-moving traffic. Small chips can often be repaired before they turn into a crack; otherwise we replace the windscreen. After a rear-end collision we check the crash beam and adjacent parts as well as the bumper, straighten everything properly and paint in the matching colour.
Insurance, excess and lease returns: what applies to customers from Studen
Many policies provide for a lower excess if the repair is carried out at one of the insurer's partner garages. That does not mean you have to go there. If you bring your vehicle from Studen to us, you pay the same excess as at the partner garage and we bear the difference. Depending on the contract, that amounts to up to CHF 1'000. We bill every insurer directly, whether it is a liability, partial or fully comprehensive claim, and tell you clearly before the repair how much you will have to pay yourself.
If your lease is coming to an end, it is worth looking over the car before it goes back: scratches, dents, parking knocks and damaged alloy wheels can be charged for at the return. Send us photos via the online damage report. The indicative quote including VAT shows you in black and white what putting it right costs with us, and you can then decide at your leisure.
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 Studen.
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.

Where possible we repair the dents without repainting, billing goes directly through your insurer, and a courtesy car is available on request for the duration of the work.
I live in Studen and have to return my lease car soon. Is it worth repairing it first?

That can only be judged with figures. Send us photos of the scratches, dents and wheel damage, and you receive an indicative quote including VAT that you can compare.
