Your 2006 Kia Optima: the work
Searching for paint touch up for the 2006 Kia Optima? Here is how CarmaCars handles it. 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
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. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Booking a time
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Ask anything about the work in the request. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
Stay on the road
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Keeping it that way
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
What affects the price
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.
What to bring
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
When the car is ready
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
Your move
A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
