Your 2007 Kia Optima: the work
Book rust repair for the 2007 Kia Optima, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
What your car means for the work
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
From request to appointment
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Keep your week on track
A rental means the work does not stop your week. We collect the rental when your car is ready. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
How long it takes
A clear timeline comes with every quote. We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days.
Looking after it afterwards
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
Getting the car ready
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
Pricing, plainly
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work.
Over to you
Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
