Scratch repair: the 2017 Audi A3
Your 2017 Audi A3 and scratch repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
Your A3, up close
As a small car, it is a straightforward size for this work. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
The request
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. 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.
Driving while yours is in
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Pricing, plainly
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. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
Before you drop the car off
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
After the work
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Planning around the work
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
Ask us
Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.

Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
