The 1987 Audi 5000: Rust repair
For rust repair on the 1987 Audi 5000, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Getting a quote
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
A rental meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the work. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
How the price is set
We price the job before we start, never after. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
Keeping it that way
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car.
Getting the car ready
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
How long you are without it
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
Your move
When you are ready, a short request books the work.
