Before you
decide.
Scope, timing and the details
worth discussing.
How much does car painting or dent repair cost?
The affected panels, extent of damage, preparation and finish determine the scope. Share clear photographs to begin; the workshop may need to inspect the car before confirming the price.
Can I send photos first?
Yes. You can share photos directly with the workshop on WhatsApp. Include close-up and wider views; an in-person inspection may still be needed.
Will a photo be enough for a final quote?
Photos can help start the conversation, but damage and preparation requirements may need an in-person assessment before a final quote.
How is the finish agreed?
Discuss colour, the affected panels and your expectations with the workshop before confirming the scope of work.
