Rust repair: your A5
Here is how we handle rust repair for the 2012 Audi A5: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your A5
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking a time
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. You can add a rental to the same request.
Stay on the road
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
What affects the price
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. We price the job before we start, never after.
Planning around the work
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
A few things first
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
Send a request
A short request is all it takes to get a price for your car.
