The 1998 Audi A8: Collision centre
Here is how we handle collision repair for the 1998 Audi A8: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. 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.
Size and finish
Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Your request
You can add a rental to the same request. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Keep your week on track
A rental means the work does not stop your week. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
When the car is ready
Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
Getting the car ready
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Why prices differ
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
