The work on your A5
For rust repair on the 2008 Audi A5, 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
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. At 4.64 m from bumper to bumper, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking a time
You can add a rental to the same request. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Ask anything about the work in the request.
A car while yours is in
A rental means the work does not stop your week. Add a rental to the same request as the work. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
After the work
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
Why prices differ
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
When the car is ready
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.
Getting the car ready
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. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Next step
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
