Rust repair: your Optima
For rust repair on the 2015 Kia Optima, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
From request to appointment
You can add a rental to the same request. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Keep driving meanwhile
A rental means the work does not stop your week. Add a rental to the same request as the work. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
How the price is set
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. We price the job before we start, never after. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
Looking after it afterwards
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
Planning around the work
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. A clear timeline comes with every quote.
A few things first
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
One more step
Start with photos and a short description.
