Your 1981 Audi 5000: the work
For rust repair on the 1981 Audi 5000, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
What happens after you ask
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Ask anything about the work in the request. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
A rental meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is ready. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Planning around the work
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.
Pricing, plainly
Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
On the day
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.
After the work
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.
Make a request
Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
