Collision centre: the 2018 Kia Optima
Need collision repair for your 2018 Kia Optima? Tell us about the car and when suits you. 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
As a large sedan, it is a straightforward size for this work. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Getting a price
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
A rental while we work
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Before you drop the car off
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. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
Timing
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.
Why prices differ
The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
