The 2008 Audi A3: Auto paint

CarmaCars takes requests for paint work on the 2008 Audi A3, and rents you a car while yours is in. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.

What your car means for the work

Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.

From request to appointment

A person reads your request and replies with the next step. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.

Driving while yours is in

Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Delivery starts at $0 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.

Pricing, plainly

Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.

Planning around the work

We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.

Keeping it that way

Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.

Getting the car ready

Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.

One more step

Tell us what the car needs and when it is free.
