3 Series Parts · Service & body shop
Service, repair and body work for the BMW E36 & E46
A service shop and a body shop that work on two cars only — the E36 (1990–2000) and the E46 (1998–2006) 3 Series — run by the people who part these cars out.
- E36 & E46 onlyEvery car through the door is one of two chassis. The parts, the catalog and the person working on it are all looking at the same car.
- Parts off our own shelfWe part these cars out. A used genuine BMW part can go on instead of new — only if you agree, and marked as used on the estimate.
- A written estimate firstYou approve every job before work starts, from a private link on your phone.
- Follow it on your phoneStatus, photos and the invoice on the same private link. No account needed.

Mechanical, or body and paint?
The service shop and the body shop each keep their own estimates and invoices. Pick the one your car needs. Not sure which? Book with either and tell us what happened — we read every request.

How it works
How a visit goes
The same for both shops: a written estimate before any work, and every job approved by you.
Book an appointment
Choose the service shop or the body shop and tell us about the car. We get back to you before anything is booked.
A written estimate
We look at the car and write up what it needs, job by job.
You decide
Approve or decline each job from a private link. Nothing starts without your yes.
Done, and on the record
Status, photos and the invoice stay on the same link.
Will I know the price before you start?
Yes. You get a written estimate by email with a private link, and you approve it job by job — or decline what you don’t want. We won’t go over the estimate you approved by more than Colorado allows (10% or 25 dollars, whichever is less) without asking you first.
Can you use a used part from your own shelf?
Yes, when we have one that fits your car and you agree to it. We sell used E36 and E46 parts on this site; a used part goes on the estimate marked as used, with its condition, before you approve anything.
Can you work with my insurance company?
Yes. Tell us it is a claim when you book, and bring the claim number. We write the estimate, deal with the adjuster on supplements, and the invoice shows the insurer’s share and yours (usually your deductible).
Do you work on other cars?
The shop is set up for the E36 and E46 3 Series. Ask through the booking form about anything else and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can help.
