How to send photos for a fast bodywork quote

Why photos help

Good photos let us give you a quick first estimate without you needing to drive across Edmonton straight away. We can see the size and depth of the damage, the panel involved and the type of finish, which is usually enough to come back with a sensible guide figure.

What to photograph

Aim for a mix of context and detail. A few minutes with your phone makes a real difference:

• One wide shot of the whole panel, so we can see the damage in proportion to the rest of the car
• Two or three close-ups of the damage from slightly different angles
• Photos taken in daylight where possible, avoiding harsh glare or strong shadow
• A clear shot of the registration plate, plus the make, model and year if you know it

If a scratch is hard to see, holding the phone at a low angle to the light often shows the depth far better than a straight-on shot.

What else to tell us

A couple of quick notes alongside the photos help us give you a more accurate answer:

• Whether it is an insurance or a non-insurance (pay-yourself) repair
• Where the car is, or where you are based
• A line on what happened, if it was an accident

This works just as well for a single mark as it does for bigger jobs — scratches and dents, bumper scuffs, or accident damage. You can browse everything we cover on our services page.

How to send them

The easiest way is WhatsApp — you can attach the photos and add your notes in one message. If you would rather, you can use the contact form instead and we will pick it up from there.

What happens next

Once we have your photos we will reply with a guide estimate. We will then usually confirm it with an inspection, because the final price depends on the damage, the paint, any parts needed and a proper look at the car in person. There is no obligation at any stage. When you are ready, send photos for a quote and we will take it from there.
