Collision centre for the 2008 Audi A3

This page covers collision repair for the 2008 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.

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. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.

Your request

Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Ask anything about the work in the request.

A car while yours is in

Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.

Pricing, plainly

Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.

Planning around the work

Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.

What to bring

If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.

Keeping it that way

A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
