Your 2008 Audi A4: the work
Book rust repair for the 2008 Audi A4 with a short request, and rent a car while yours is in. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
The request
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
A car while yours is in
Add a rental to the same request as the work. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
What to bring
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
How the price is set
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person.
When the car is ready
Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.
Looking after it afterwards
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
One more step
A person reads your request and replies with a price and a time.
