Photos give a garage a useful first look at visible damage. They can help start a conversation about a repair, although a final quote may still need an inspection.
Show the whole area first
Take a wider photograph showing where the damage sits on the car. Include the surrounding panels so the garage can see whether more than one area may be affected.
Add a clear close-up
Photograph the dent, scrape or scratch in daylight where possible. Avoid filters and heavy editing. A second angle can help show the shape of a dent or the edge of a damaged panel.
Include the details that photos miss
Share the vehicle registration, make and model. Explain what happened, which areas are affected and whether a door, bonnet or boot no longer opens or closes normally. Mention any previous repairs you know about.
Expect a conversation, not an instant final price
Paint damage and the condition beneath a panel are not always clear in photographs. The garage may need to inspect the vehicle before confirming the work, cost and turnaround.
Send your enquiry using the quote form. The garage will contact you to arrange any photographs or inspection needed.
