Your Optima and windshield repair
Windshield repair for the 2001 Kia Optima: tell us about the car, and a person replies with a price and a time. A small chip in the windshield can often be repaired before it spreads into a crack.
What your car means for the work
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
The request
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 means the work does not stop your week. Add a rental to the same request as the work. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Keeping it that way
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
A few things first
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
Planning around the work
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
What affects the price
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
Ready when you are
