Booking the work for the A3

Your 2011 Audi A3 and rust repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.

The car itself

Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.

What to send us

If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. You can add a rental to the same request.

Stay on the road

Add a rental to the same request as the work. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.

When the car is ready

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.

Why prices differ

Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.

Getting the car ready

Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.

Your move

A person reads your request and replies with a price and a time.
