Your 2012 Audi A3: the work

This page covers collision repair for the 2012 Audi A3, and a rental while the car is with us. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request.

The car itself

Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.

Your request

Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.

Keep driving meanwhile

Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.

Before you drop the car off

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

After the work

Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.

Why prices differ

Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.

When the car is ready

You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
