Rust repair: your Q5
This page covers rust repair for the 2011 Audi Q5, and a rental while the car is with us. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. As an SUV, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
From request to appointment
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
A car while yours is in
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. A rental means the work does not stop your week. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
On the day
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. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
Keeping it that way
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
How long it takes
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
What goes into a quote
We price the job before we start, never after. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
Ready to ask?
A quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
