Auto paint: your Forte
Auto paint for the 2017 Kia Forte: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your Forte, up close
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking the work
Ask anything about the work in the request. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
Keep driving meanwhile
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
What to bring
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
When the car is ready
Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.
Aftercare
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
What affects the price
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
Still deciding?
Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.

Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
