Rust repair for the 2018 Audi A5
Book rust repair for the 2018 Audi A5, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking a time
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
A rental meanwhile
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Pricing, plainly
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. We price the job before we start, never after.
A few things first
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. 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.
When the car is ready
If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
Keeping it that way
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
Send a request
When you are ready, a short request books the work.
