About your Optima
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
From request to appointment
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
Keep your week on track
We collect the rental when your car is ready. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Before you drop the car off
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
After the work
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Timing
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
Why prices differ
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one.
