Your Q7 and scratch repair
CarmaCars takes requests for scratch repair on the 2012 Audi Q7, and rents you a car while yours is in. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
The car itself
Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What happens after you ask
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Driving while yours is in
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Keeping it that way
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
A few things first
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
How long it takes
If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
How the price is set
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.
Send a request
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
