Booking the work for the Sephia
Here is how we handle paint work for the 1998 Kia Sephia: 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.
The car itself
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What to send us
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. You can add a rental to the same request. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
After the work
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Planning around the work
Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
On the day
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. 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.
Pricing, plainly
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.
Make a request
Tell us what the car needs and when it is free.
