Your 2021 Audi A8: the work
This page covers paint work for the 2021 Audi A8, and a rental while the car is with us. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Size and finish
Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. NHTSA lists 10 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
How to request it
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. You can add a rental to the same request.
Driving while yours is in
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Before you drop the car off
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
How long it takes
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
How the price is set
The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. We price the job before we start, never after.
