The 2017 Kia Optima: Rust repair
Your 2017 Kia Optima needs rust repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Your Optima, up close
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. 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
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
A car while yours is in
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
How long it takes
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
After the work
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
On the day
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. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Pricing, plainly
The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
