Your 1997 Audi A8: the work
For your 1997 Audi A8, 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.
The car itself
Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. The length is 5.03 m. Check the size of a tight parking spot. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Your request
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
A rental meanwhile
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Pricing, plainly
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
Before you drop the car off
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Keeping it that way
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
Timing
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.

Book the work and a rental in one request.
