Booking the work for the Optima
Need collision repair for your 2008 Kia Optima? Tell us about the car and when 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
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
How to request it
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
Need a car meanwhile?
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Aftercare
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
Before you drop the car off
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Ask any question you have before the work starts. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Why prices differ
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
Timing
Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
Next step
Ready when you are: send the details of the car.
