Some idiot hit my car today in the parking lot at work. I wasn't there to see it but I wish I was...

Please see the web album and let me know if it looks like an expensive repair.

Should I make a claim to the insurance company?
Any suggestions as to where I should get it repaired?



It looks like I'll have to re-schedule my rust proofing appointment.

 

Get it repaired at a reputable place with references. As for the rustproofing, you know that if you drill holes in your car to get this done the factory rust guarantee becomes void.

 

Sorry to hear that...
I was in excatly the SAME situation wifey took it for work and someone intentionally hit the passenger side door. I tried the dentless procedure with amazing results but a deep scratch was still visible since the metal had been stretched... I decided to repaint the panel at a local trustworthy dealership and paid out of my pocket $600!
Be careful with regular yearly oil spray since it will damage the plastic and moulding causing major damages!
Just wash the darn car well during winter and make sure you wax it before the winter season...

I am going crazy now with electrical issue that I will have to fix at local independent garage:
1: Alarm doesnot beep/churp when locks anymore, i fear it a dead battery inside the alarm module located in the trunk
2: Airbag light on dash is on maybe a module under the seat? loose connection, moisture who the hell knows heck maybe because I moved my seat!!!
3: Lombar module on driver seat quit working which is very common unless your weight is less than 100lbs, just too lazy to go though it as shown on 4mods.com

Audi electrical issues...I guess it is my turn
German OVER-ENGINEERING at it's best is you ask mee...
