The 2019 Kia Optima: Engine repair
Your 2019 Kia Optima needs engine work? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Details the shop needs
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. If you have the service history of your Optima, have it ready for the shop. The 2.0L 4-cylinder hybrid with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
Who does what
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
A car while yours is in the shop
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Questions to ask the shop
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Small things that help
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
When you know your dates
Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
Request engine repair
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
