Booking the work for the Forte
CarmaCars takes requests for scratch repair on the 2013 Kia Forte, and rents you a car while yours is in. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Size and finish
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What happens after you ask
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. You can add a rental to the same request.
Keep your week on track
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Add a rental to the same request as the work. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
What to bring
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
Pricing, plainly
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
Keeping it that way
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
How long it takes
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. We keep you posted if the timing changes.
