The 2016 Audi Q5: Rust repair
For rust repair on the 2016 Audi Q5, 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
Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. As a compact SUV, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
What to send us
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Keep your week on track
We collect the rental when your car is ready. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Keeping it that way
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
How long it takes
Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days. We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days.
What to bring
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
What affects the price
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.
