This is the state of my car's paintwork due to the absurd amount of stones present on the A3. Now, in addition to the paintwork, my windshield also cracked due to a stone, but so far so good, the insurance company is taking care of it, only the peinture is my responsibility.

Is there any entity responsible for these works that I can contact? All this damage to the paintwork occurred within a year of daily use of the road, I have a budget of €1000 to paint but what's the point if I'm going to drive there every day again?

Anyone ele with the same issue? Is this a normal thing or am I just being dramatic?

Thank u all

  1. Damn that sucks. Either get a beater car or just keep more distance to the guy in front.

  2. Same here, got my windshield cracked due to a stone on the A3.

  3. I don’t know but it seems frustrating. I think you should call the police when on road so they can make a claim probably. They would know better than me

  4. Peinture baguette.
    Report it to the administration and be done with it already.

  5. The hood of your car will get hit by pebbles on every road. The real solution is to protect your car with PPF but that’s expensive.

    Introducing a complaint will lead to nowhere as you have to prove who threw the pebble on the road/on your car.

  6. Well the paint chips have nothing to do with A3. God knows where these come from.

    It sucks but that‘s just normal wear and tear because you can‘t do anything for stones flying off cars. I‘d recommend full coverage, so your insurance takes care. Or paint protection film.

  7. I lose a windshield about every 12-18 months on the A13, just a fact of life if you pass there everyday
