The 2014 Kia Forte: Paint touch up
CarmaCars takes requests for scratch repair on the 2014 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.
The car itself
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.
Getting a price
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
A rental meanwhile
Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. 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. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Before you drop the car off
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Timing
Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
Pricing, plainly
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.
Aftercare
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
