The 2003 Kia Rio: Paint touch up
The 2003 Kia Rio needs scratch repair? Send photos and when it suits you. 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.
Size and finish
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a quote
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
A rental while we work
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Looking after it afterwards
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
Pricing, plainly
Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
How long you are without it
Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.
What to bring
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Questions first?
Tell us what the car needs and when it is free.

Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
