Before You Request an Estimate
Prepare the year, make, model, a description of what happened, photos taken safely, and any existing estimate or claim reference. Ask the shop if it needs anything else.
Photos can help identify visible damage and start an estimate discussion. A final repair plan may require an in-person inspection, measurements, or access behind damaged panels. Ask the shop what the estimate includes and what could change.
Timing depends on the damage, repair procedures, parts, scheduling, and any necessary approvals. Ask your chosen shop for a timeline after assessment and how it will communicate changes.
Discuss the shop’s estimate and repair-authorization process directly. Ask about any inspection, diagnostic, storage, or other charges before agreeing to work.
