Auto paint: your Optima
Book paint work for the 2018 Kia Optima with a short request, and rent a car while yours is in. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
The car itself
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking the work
You can add a rental to the same request. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
Add a rental to the same request as the work. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
How the price is set
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. We price the job before we start, never after.
Planning around the work
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.
Keeping it that way
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
A few things first
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Over to you
A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
