Disconnect every battery
The Q5 in 12 V mild-hybrid form has 2 batteries to cut: the lead-acid one and a 12 V lithium-ion one beside it. A Q8 with the 48 V mild hybrid carries a 48 V lithium-ion battery as well. We isolate each battery before any welding or panel removal.

Check the body dimensions
We measure the body against Audi's dimensions before the repair and again after it.

Keep aluminium work apart
We sand and prepare aluminium panels away from steel work, because cross-contamination leads to galvanic corrosion.

Replace the structural parts
We fit new structural parts at the factory joints or at set sectioning lines.

Seal the joints and cavities
We coat bare metal and new fasteners against corrosion and lay fresh sealer along the seams. Body cavities get wax once the paint is done.

Send the car for camera calibration
On an A6, A7, S6, S7, RS 6 or RS 7, a replaced windscreen or a refitted front camera calls for camera calibration. Our team hands that calibration, and any radar check after bumper work, to an Audi dealer.
