Booking the work for the Optima
For the 2002 Kia Optima, windshield repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. A small chip in the windshield can often be repaired before it spreads into a crack.
Your Optima, up close
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Your request
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Ask anything about the work in the request.
A rental meanwhile
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Aftercare
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
On the day
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. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
How the price is set
Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.
Planning around the work
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. A clear timeline comes with every quote.
Your move
Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
