Auto paint: the 2011 Kia Forte
Here is how we handle paint work for the 2011 Kia Forte: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Size and finish
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking the work
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. You can add a rental to the same request. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
Keep driving meanwhile
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Before you drop the car off
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Planning around the work
Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.
What goes into a quote
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
Looking after it afterwards
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
Make a request
Start with photos and a short description.
