The Kia Optima: Auto repair
Your Kia Optima needs body repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. This is body repair. Mechanical work such as engines, brakes and oil changes is not part of it.
What your car means for the work
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. 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
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
We collect the rental when your car is ready. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Why prices differ
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one.
How long it takes
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.
What to bring
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
After the work
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
