Rust repair: your A6
For rust repair on the 1997 Audi A6, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
What your car means for the work
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What happens after you ask
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Ask anything about the work in the request. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Keep driving meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the work. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Pricing, plainly
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
A few things first
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
Timing
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
Keeping it that way
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
When you know your dates
Questions about the work? Ask them in your request.
