Booking the work for the 5000

For your 1981 Audi 5000, collision repair starts with a short request. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work.

Your 5000, up close

A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.

From request to appointment

Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. You can add a rental to the same request. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.

Need a car meanwhile?

Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.

Keeping it that way

Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.

How the price is set

A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.

How long you are without it

Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. A clear timeline comes with every quote.

Before you drop the car off

Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.

Questions first?

Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
