Get an estimate
Get an estimate the way you prefer: over the phone, from photos, or in person at your car, anywhere in Los Angeles County or Orange County.
Prefer to talk? Call (562) 664-9898. Photos help: one from a few steps back and one close up, with light across the damage.
Three ways to get an estimate
- By phone. Call (562) 664-9898 and describe the damage, where it is on the car and the year, make and model.
- From photos. Use the form above, or email your photos to help@socalmobiledentrepair.com.
- In person. Ask us to look at the car where it is parked, at home or at work.
No route is better than another. Choose whichever is easiest for you.
How to take photos we can price from
- Take one wide shot from a few steps back so we can see which panel it is and how big the damage is.
- Take one close shot of the dent, crack or scratch itself.
- Shoot at an angle with light falling across the panel. A dent that looks invisible straight on often shows clearly from the side.
- Avoid harsh noon sun straight on the paint, which washes out shallow dents; shade or late afternoon light works better.
- If the paint is cracked, chipped or peeling, get one photo of that up close. It tells us whether paintless repair is possible or whether the area needs paint.
The form takes up to four photos.
What happens after you send the form
Your details and photos arrive in our inbox as one email. We look at the damage, then reach you the way you chose on the form: a call, or an email if you gave an address and picked that option.
If the photos settle it, we can give you an estimate from them. If the damage needs a closer look, for example to see whether the metal is stretched or the bumper is cracked through, we will say so and set up an in-person look. Once you say yes, we agree on a time and place, and we come to the car. Most jobs are done the same day.
