For Southern California drivers, getting a free body damage estimate online with Eli’s is easy. There are a few things you should be mindful of when submitting your information for your online collision estimate:

 

  • Ensure all your information is correct, from your name and phone number to the manual details you enter about your vehicle. Sometimes we need to include materials and parts that are specific to a certain model, and this helps us to provide you with a more accurate quote.
  • Please make sure all of your pictures are clear and taken with a good-quality camera. If we need to zoom in on any portion of the photo, it shouldn’t be blurry or grainy.
  • Be sure to use good lighting when taking your pictures. This eliminates us having to call you back for subsequent photos.
  • Finally, the more accurate you are with everything, the more accurate our estimate. Once you bring your vehicle in, we’ll give it a quick inspection to ensure everything matches the information we used to provide the original quote.

 

After this quick once-over, we’ll get started. You should consider lining up transportation to and from our facility, depending on the size of the job. Even if the job seems minor, some of the materials we use take 24 hours or more to dry, which means your car must sit overnight.
