Your A3 and rust repair
This page covers rust repair for the 2020 Audi A3, and a rental while the car is with us. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
What your car means for the work
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Getting a price
Ask anything about the work in the request. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
A rental meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Keeping it that way
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
What to bring
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. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
How the price is set
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
How long you are without it
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
Make a request
A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
