The 2017 Kia Optima: Mechanic
Need mechanical repairs or maintenance for your 2017 Kia Optima? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Regular maintenance keeps small problems from turning into large ones.
Details the shop needs
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder hybrid; drive: front-wheel drive.
Who does what
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Keep moving meanwhile
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Small things that help
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Still deciding?
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
Request mechanic
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.
