Default body shop

Hey guys. Just picked up my first Audi. '07 A4 S-Line. The very next day, on the 401, some jack *** floated garbage out of his pickup or something (didnt see it, the guy in front of me clipped it and pushed it over enough that I didn't have to take it straight on) and I got boxed into ramming it. Did a nice job on my bumper.

Should I take this thing back to the Audi dealership for work? Or else where?

Well the insurance should cover it no??? did you get the guys plates? If anything you shouldn't get premium increase as you are not at fault. If you didn't then now might be a great time to get a nice new custom bumper to make your ride more unique, im fairly sure that would still be significantly less expensive then getting stock from dealer.

By the way, sorry to hear that, I personally would be furious and roid rage my way to the truck and get him to pull over, one way or the other

Yeah. I'm not sure if the bumper is entirely beyond repair. Luckily it didn't hit any of the metal body panels.

Is it worth paying the premium at the dealership to do the repair? Assuming they do body work?

Any way it was dark and there was a B class mercedes in front of me so I never got a good look at what was ahead. I think he must have nailed what ever it was as well cause I didn't get clipped straight on. Better that I didn't see who did it...

dealership will charge an arm and a leg, and that is not a joke !

there are some great body shops that specialize in Audi and high class cars ( usually see ferraris and etc there ) in Burlington and ancaster. Which will be alot cheaper.

I heard COLLISION AUTOHAUS is pretty good, but a bit expensive unless paying cash under table
