The work on your A8
CarmaCars takes requests for paint work on the 1998 Audi A8, and rents you a car while yours is in. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Size and finish
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a price
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Need a car meanwhile?
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Pricing, plainly
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.
Looking after it afterwards
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Getting the car ready
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
When the car is ready
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
Ready when you are
