A good quote is fast and accurate when you bring the right information. Here is a short checklist to get a same-day number.
Do I need to bring my car in for a body shop quote?
Nothing beats seeing the car. Walk-ins are welcome, and an in-person look gets you the most accurate quote.
What details does a body shop need to quote a repair?
Have your year, make, model, and trim ready. For exotics, the factory paint code helps if you have it.
What do I bring if it is an insurance claim?
If this is an insurance job, bring your claim number and carrier details so we can coordinate directly.
Know what you want
Be ready to describe the finish or outcome you are after. The clearer the goal, the tighter the quote.
Common questions
how long does a body shop quote take
Same day, when you bring the right information. A quote is fast and accurate if you have the year, make, model and trim ready and the car itself on site. Walk ins are welcome, so you can bring it by, or call ahead and we will line the visit up.
can i get a body shop estimate as a walk in
Yes. Walk ins are welcome and we do same day quotes. Nothing beats seeing the car in person, so bringing it by is the fastest route to an accurate number. Have the year, make, model and trim ready, plus your claim details if the repair is going through insurance.
does a body shop need the paint code to quote a repair
No. The factory paint code is helpful, not required. It mainly matters on an exotic, and only if you happen to have it handy. Have the year, make, model and trim ready instead. Bring the car if you can, because an in person look gets you the most accurate quote.
what should i tell the body shop i want done
Describe the finish or the outcome you are after, as specifically as you can. The clearer the goal, the tighter the quote, because we are pricing one result instead of guessing between several. Bring the car with you if you can, since an in person look gets the most accurate number.
