The 2008 Audi A8: Rust repair
This page covers rust repair for the 2008 Audi A8, and a rental while the car is with us. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Getting a quote
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
A rental meanwhile
Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Pricing, plainly
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
A few things first
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
Aftercare
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
When the car is ready
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
Get an offer
A quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
