The work on your Optima
Your 2008 Kia Optima needs scratch repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
Your Optima, up close
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What happens after you ask
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Stay on the road
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
On the day
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. 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.
Pricing, plainly
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
When the car is ready
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
After the work
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
