A quote from Täuffelen-Gerolfingen: online first, Biel only afterwards
A trolley scratch, a dent in the door, a bumper pushed in while manoeuvring: for damage like this you do not need to drive to Biel for an inspection first. On our website you upload the vehicle registration and a few photos of the damage and receive an indicative quote including VAT within 24 hours on working days. The car only comes to us once you have placed the order. Any questions are settled by phone, in German or French.
Even then the effort stays small. If you wish, we collect your vehicle in Täuffelen, Gerolfingen or Hagneck and bring it back after the repair. In the meantime we can provide a replacement car on request so that your commute, shopping and school runs carry on as usual. Small dents without paint damage are fixed by paintless dent repair, and for deeper scratches a spot repair is often enough instead of repainting the whole panel.
Insurance, excess and hail: what drivers from Täuffelen should know
Many policies provide for a lower excess when the repair is carried out at one of the insurer's partner garages. That does not mean you have to give up the body shop of your choice. With us you pay the same excess as at your insurer's partner garage, and we cover the difference. Depending on the policy, this saves you up to CHF 1'000. We handle the claim for you and bill every insurer directly, so you do not have to pay anything up front.
The same applies after a summer thunderstorm over the Seeland. Hail is generally covered by partial casco insurance: report the damage to your insurer first, then send us the photos with the claim number. Wherever possible we remove hail dents by paintless dent repair, which preserves the original paint. If the paint is damaged, we repaint the affected panels.
Life on the right shore of Lake Biel: commuting, the lakeside road and getting home without a car
Täuffelen lies on the southern shore of Lake Biel, and people who live here mostly take the same route through Mörigen, Sutz-Lattrigen and Ipsach to Nidau and Biel for work and shopping. On this road cars share the carriageway with farm vehicles, bicycles and, in summer, leisure traffic heading for the lake. On a route like this, stone chips in the windscreen, rear-end bumps in slow traffic and scrapes in tight parking bays are common kinds of damage. Stone chips are repaired for as long as that is feasible, and the windscreen is replaced when the damage is too large or in the driver's field of vision.
If you bring the car to Biel yourself, you have three ways of getting home. You drive back in a replacement car reserved in advance, we return the repaired vehicle to you later by arrangement, or you take the Biel–Täuffelen–Ins railway run by Aare Seeland mobil from Biel station, which stops in Gerolfingen, Täuffelen and Hagneck among other places. Allow for the trip from the workshop to the station and check the current timetable. Tell us what suits you best when we fix the appointment, and we will reserve the replacement car or schedule the collection.
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 Täuffelen.
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 live in Gerolfingen. Do I have to drive the car to Biel myself?
＋
Our workshop is at Südstrasse 2 in Biel, and we have no site in Täuffelen. You still do not have to make the trip: you get the indicative quote through the online damage report, and on request we collect the car in Täuffelen, Gerolfingen or the neighbouring villages of Hagneck, Mörigen and Epsach and bring it back. On request you get a replacement car for the duration of the work.
My car was hit in a car park in Täuffelen and the other driver has gone. What now?
＋
Photograph the damage and the surroundings, note the place and time and report the incident to your insurer. It is generally advisable to report it to the police as well; your insurer can tell you what is required in your case. Whether and how the damage is covered depends on your policy, for example on parking damage cover. Send us the photos through the online damage report and we will prepare the indicative quote and handle the claim with the insurer.
My car has dents after a hailstorm in Täuffelen-Gerolfingen. How do I get a quote?
＋
In the online damage report, upload the vehicle registration and photos of the roof, bonnet and any other affected panels, ideally taken in slanting light so the dents show up. On working days you receive an indicative quote within 24 hours. Wherever possible we remove hail dents without painting, and billing goes directly through your insurer.
My lease is ending. Can I have scratches, alloy wheels and cloudy headlights put right before I return the car?
＋
Yes. We repair scratches and dents, refurbish alloy wheels, restore cloudy headlights and polish the paintwork. Send us the photos through the online damage report in good time before the return date: the indicative quote shows you what the work will cost, and we collect the car in Täuffelen if you wish.

My policy specifies a partner garage. Can I still come to Carrosserie K.I. from Täuffelen?
＋
