Windshield repair: the 1985 Audi 5000
Here is how we handle windshield repair for the 1985 Audi 5000: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. A small chip in the windshield can often be repaired before it spreads into a crack.
About your 5000
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. There are 7 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
The request
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Ask anything about the work in the request. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Stay on the road
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Getting the car ready
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. 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.
What goes into a quote
Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. We price the job before we start, never after. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
Keeping it that way
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
Planning around the work
Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
