Booking the work for the A8
Book rust repair for the 2012 Audi A8, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Your A8, up close
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
The request
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
Keep driving meanwhile
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Delivery starts at $0 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Pricing, plainly
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
When the car is ready
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
Before you drop the car off
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
Looking after it afterwards
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
Ready when you are
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
