Booking the work for the A6
Your 1998 Audi A6 and rust repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
What your car means for the work
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. The length is 4.88 m. Check the size of a tight parking spot. There are 9 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Booking the work
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Need a car meanwhile?
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
How long it takes
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.
After the work
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
What affects the price
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.
On the day
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
Want a price?
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
