The work on your Optima
CarmaCars takes requests for collision repair on the 2018 Kia Optima, and rents you a car while yours is in. 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.
Your Optima, up close
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Your request
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.
Stay on the road
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
What to bring
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
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.
When the car is ready
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
What goes into a quote
The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.
Talk to a person
Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
