Collision center for the 1997 Audi A4
For your 1997 Audi A4, collision repair starts with a short request. 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.
What your car means for the work
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Its length is 4.52 m, so it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
What happens after you ask
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Keep driving meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the work. We collect the rental when your car is ready. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Aftercare
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Why prices differ
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
When the car is ready
Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
A few things first
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
