Collision centre: your A4
This page covers collision repair for the 1996 Audi A4, and a rental while the car is with us. 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.
What your car means for the work
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. It is 4.52 m from end to end. It fits most condo and driveway spots. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Getting a quote
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
A rental while we work
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. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
How long you are without it
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days.
How the price is set
A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work.
After the work
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Getting the car ready
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
