The work on your R8
Rust repair for the 2012 Audi R8: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
What your car means for the work
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Stay on the road
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. 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.
Aftercare
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
How long it takes
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
What goes into a quote
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. 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.
Before you drop the car off
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. 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.
Make a request
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
