The car itself
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. As a pickup truck, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
The request
You can add a rental to the same request. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
Keep your week on track

Before you drop the car off
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
How the price is set
A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
How long it takes
A clear timeline comes with every quote. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.
