Re: Audi Repair Shops REFERRALS
Hello everyone.
Can anyone give me some recommendations on body shops in Toronto?
I've been searching around for few days now and it seems like everyone wants me to go to 427 or Pfaff. since they are they only 2 that is recommended by Audi Canada. I've got an estimate from 427 and it came to $2800 which was what i had expected when i first saw the damage..
its an 2010 A5 2.0. The damage is mostly on the rear quarter panel on the passenger side as well as little bit of the door.. My brother was driving at the time and he f!@# it up pretty bad. It was an honest mistake and he's my brother so I can't really do much about it and I would like to spend as little amount of money as possible..
I also got a quote from a place called Campus auto Collision and it came up to $1400. Now I know that 427 will provide great work according to most people but there has to be a smaller shop in Toronto that you guys trust and have great experience with?
I am just really worried that the cheaper place will either cut corners (which I won't tell the difference to right away) and will result in rust or whatnot in a few years.
Looking at the estimate, they both used the Mitchell system and seems like they do the same job, the big difference is the amount of time spent on each job and the labour fees. 427- $36 and campus- $22. There was also a 150 dollar difference in the paint they are using, does that effect the quality of the paint? or is that just a mark up by 427...
What do you guys think? is looking for a cheaper place worth saving money for in the long run?

Indy's 101 customs. He painted my corrado 6 years ago(still looks like it came out of the shop), my a4 about two years ago and just did my cousins car after somebody scraped his passenger side . He does great work and his prices are more than reasonable. He's located in scarborough on howden rd. pm me if you want his contact. Good luck

Hey, new to Audi, but I've taken a Lexus and a BMW to Ryding autobody on Dufferin and Castlefield. The guys there are great at it and have reasonable prices. No problem with pearl/metallic paints (they've even fixed the shitty paint job of another place).
Hopefully I won't need anything for a long while, but that's who I'd use.
