Start with the vehicle and the affected area
Include the vehicle year, make and model. Take one wider photograph that identifies the affected wheel, panel or cabin area. Then add close-ups so the team can see the specific concern.
Use daylight where possible and avoid filters. Reflections can help reveal a dent, but heavy glare can hide scratches. Keep the original photo quality and check that the damage is actually visible before uploading.
Match the photos to the concern
- Wheel damage: include the whole wheel, its outer edge and close-ups of each affected area.
- Dents: show the full panel, the dent from different angles and any damaged paint.
- Paint concerns: show both a wider view and close-ups of chips or scratches.
- Interior damage: show the seat or trim location as well as tears, wear or stains.
- For multiple concerns, identify which photo belongs to which area in your message.
Include the details a photo cannot show
Mention when the damage happened, any known previous repair and whether there are symptoms such as vibration or air loss. Describe your priority: appearance improvement, preparation for sale or coordinating several repairs.
Add your contact details, vehicle location and any scheduling constraints. If you want pickup and drop-off, request it explicitly; availability is confirmed by arrangement. Avoid including identity documents or unrelated private information in photos.
Know the limits of a photo estimate
Photos can miss hidden damage, panel access, the depth of a scratch and the condition beneath a surface. Costs and timing should be confirmed with the team after the scope is assessed.
If the vehicle has a visibility, tire-pressure or drivability concern, do not assume it is safe to drive because the damage looks small. Describe the concern and seek appropriate assessment before arranging travel.
Common Questions
Can I attach photos to the website estimate form?
Yes. The homepage estimate form accepts vehicle photos. Add the vehicle details and a written explanation so the images have context.
Does sending photos mean the repair price is final?
No. Photos support the initial assessment. Inspection, hidden damage or additional findings may affect the scope, so confirm the estimate and approval process with the team.
