Collision centre: the 2014 Kia Optima
Here is how we handle collision repair for the 2014 Kia Optima: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request.
Size and finish
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Your request
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
A car while yours is in
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
How long it takes
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.
What goes into a quote
We price the job before we start, never after. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
A few things first
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
