The work on your Optima
The 2001 Kia Optima needs collision repair? Send photos and when it suits you. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work.
The car itself
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Getting a quote
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
A rental while we work
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. We collect the rental when your car is ready. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Why prices differ
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
Getting the car ready
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. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
How long you are without it
If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.
After the work
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
Ready when you are
When you are ready, a short request books the work.
