Your 2012 Kia Sorento: the work
Auto paint for the 2012 Kia Sorento: tell us about the car, 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 Sorento, up close
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As an SUV, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
From request to appointment
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. You can add a rental to the same request.
Stay on the road
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
How long you are without it
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. A clear timeline comes with every quote.
Pricing, plainly
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
Looking after it afterwards
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
Before you drop the car off
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Questions first?
Ready when you are: send the details of the car.
