CarmaCars takes requests for rust repair on the 2018 Kia Stinger, and rents you a car while yours is in. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
What your car means for the work
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking a time
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Looking after it afterwards
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Why prices differ
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one.
Timing
A clear timeline comes with every quote. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.
Getting the car ready
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
