From Sutz or Lattrigen to Biel: planning the repair so daily life carries on
Sutz-Lattrigen is made up of the two villages of Sutz and Lattrigen on the southern shore of Lake Biel, which have grown together into one settlement since the 1950s. Lying between Ipsach and Mörigen, the municipality is closely tied to Biel, and that is exactly where our workshop is, at Südstrasse 2. All work is carried out in Biel, so we take your damage report online first: you upload the vehicle registration and a few photos of the damage and have the indicative quote in hand before the car is even moved.
For the repair itself you have three options. You bring the car to Biel and, if you wish, drive home in a courtesy car. You bring it and take the Biel–Täuffelen–Ins S-Bahn home, which stops in Sutz; in that case allow for the trip from the workshop to Biel station and check the current timetable. Or you use our pick-up and drop-off service on request, and we agree with you when we collect the vehicle in Sutz-Lattrigen and bring it back repaired.
Hail, parking damage or an accident: what insurance usually covers
Which insurer pays depends on the type of damage. Hail is usually covered by partial casco, parking damage caused by an unknown driver, depending on the policy, by parking damage cover or fully comprehensive insurance, and after an accident that is clearly the other party's fault, their liability insurance usually pays. Your policy is always what counts. So report the damage to your insurer first and give us the claim number when you upload the photos.
We usually settle the bill directly with your insurer, so you do not have to pay for the repair up front. If your policy sets a higher excess for a freely chosen body shop than for the partner garage, you still only pay the lower excess with us; we cover the difference, up to CHF 1'000 depending on the policy. Wherever possible we remove hail dents without repainting, so the original paint is preserved.
Dents, scratches, stone chips and lease returns: show small damage online first
Not every bit of damage is an insurance claim. A door ding, a scratch on the bumper or a stone chip in the windscreen can often be fixed quickly, and the online damage report shows you in advance what the repair will cost. Dents without paint damage are removed without repainting wherever possible, and smaller paint defects with a spot repair instead of repainting the whole panel. Stone chips are repaired for as long as that is feasible; if the damage is in the driver's field of vision or too large, the windscreen is replaced.
If a lease car is due to go back, it is worth sending us the photos a few weeks beforehand. The indicative quote including VAT then shows you what it costs to put right scratches, dents or wheels, and we schedule the work before the return date wherever possible. Advice, quote and invoice are available in German or French.
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 Sutz-Lattrigen.
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.

I commute from Sutz-Lattrigen to Biel. Can I drop the car off on my way to work and go home by train?
＋

Someone ran into my car between Sutz-Lattrigen and Nidau. Who pays for the repair?
＋
If the other party is clearly at fault, their liability insurance usually pays for the repair; the circumstances and the policies are what count.

Then upload the photos to our online damage report: we prepare the indicative quote and usually bill the responsible insurer directly.
My car got dents in a hailstorm in Sutz-Lattrigen. Who do I notify first?
＋
Report the damage to your insurer first; hail is usually covered by partial casco, but your policy is what counts. Then photograph the roof, bonnet and sides, ideally in slanting light so the dents show up, and upload the pictures with the claim number to the online damage report.
