Default There should be a booklet amongst your manuals

It contains a list of all the A8 collision repair centers. Call up the dealer if you can't find it. They are supposed to refer you to the local authorized shop.

Default AoA has a list of body shops that are certified to work on A8s

Some are "Cosmetic", some "Structural" (for the ASF).

Here's a link to a post I made of the shops from the 2002 list.

I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to use one of these if the damage was limited to panels that just need to be unbolted and replaced (bumpers, front fenders, etc.). But since you have some rear quarter panel creases, it's worth at least seeing if one of them is close to you.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/43294.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/43294.phtml</a</li></ul>
