Booking the work for the A6
Scratch repair for the 2001 Audi A6: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
What your car means for the work
As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking the work
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Driving while yours is in
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
How long you are without it
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
After the work
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
What goes into a quote
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work.
What to bring
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
