Staggered!!! Audi Body Shop Quote

[nicktowe]

I have a shallow scratch in the rear bumper of my car its about 2 incjes long and just penetrates the plastic of the bumper.

I have just been a massive quoted £927!!! for repair by an audi authorised repairer. Other quotes range from £80 to £220 for the same job.

I queried the price with the Audibody shop and they say that i have to have the car repaired by them or it will void the warranty! But if i leave it unrepaired it won't!

No wonder the owner of this dealership drives an Aston Martin Vanquish and a Porsche 911 GT3.

has anyone else had similar issues or is this a one off?

Cheers

Audi sound like they have quoted for a new bumper, supply paint & fit. It sounds like a smart repair ect or even repair and paint entire bumper would do, price £80-£250.

I think warranty wise a plastic bumper being repaired painted ect would not affect that. It's usually the metal body work this applies to.

Dealers don't normally entertain repairing panels as they make more money supplying & fitting new ones. Makes sense to them, but not the customer unfortunately.

Sorry but no web link signatures.

Thanks. If you were closer I would bring it to you. The quote does include in my view unnecessary replacement of bumper.

Mind u they don't inspire confidence as they describe my Daytona Grey Pearl car as being metallic black!
