I just crashed my Audi. What should I do next?
What you do next depends on the situation. If no other vehicle is involved – for example, if you’ve accidentally backed your Audi into a post – it’s a good idea to get a repair quote first. In many cases, the cost may be similar to or less than your insurance excess, meaning it might not be worth making a claim.
If another vehicle is involved and you’re at fault, the other party has the right to choose their own repairer and may also be entitled to a hire car. In these situations, lodging a claim is generally recommended, as repair costs can be higher and less predictable.
If fault is unclear, be sure to take clear photos of the scene and the damage, and collect the other driver’s contact and insurance details. Then contact South City Motor Body Works – we’ll arrange a booking and guide you through the next steps to get your Audi expertly assessed and repaired.
Someone just crashed into my Audi. What should I do next?

After the accident, it’s a legal requirement to exchange details – take clear photos of the scene and the damage, and record the other driver’s name, address, insurance provider, and registration number. We also recommend taking a photo of the driver’s driving license. If there are any witnesses, be sure to collect their contact information as well.
Once you’ve gathered everything, contact South City Motor Body Works to arrange a booking. We’ll guide you through the process and ensure your Audi is repaired to the highest standard using approved methods and parts.
