Default Aluminum Body work!

Hey,

So if any of us, God forbid, gets in a fender bender, where in North America can Audi fix the body? I read a while back there are only a few locations continent-wide. I think the closest to the NE is one in CT? Where can we get this info?

Default The car is made from 7 different types of aircraft grade aluminum.

The outer panels are heat hardened to be more dent resistant than steel.

Should you need very minor repairs, the locations are numerous.

Should you need non-structural repairs, there are something like 17 authorised locations around the country.

If you need structural repairs, there are several locations around the country. You bring the car to your dealer for the repair estimate and they will handle shipping.

The one in CT is in Stamford, Pray Body Shop (203) 359-3025

I know cause I had them work on my car when it got hit, not a fun experience

The next closest shop in the area is in King of Prussia, PA, I don't know the name, cause thankfully Pray wasn't too backed up to work on my car.....You can always check with your local dealer to get the closest certified body shop, I think at last count there were 9 or 11 that were certified to work on it
