The 2018 Kia Forte: Paint touch up
Need scratch repair for your 2018 Kia Forte? Tell us about the car and when suits you. 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.
About your Forte
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As a large sedan, it is a straightforward size for this work. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
The request
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Need a car meanwhile?
Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
How long it takes
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. A clear timeline comes with every quote.
Keeping it that way
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Pricing, plainly
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.
What to bring
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Still deciding?
Tell us what the car needs and when it is free.
