By the team at Fix Auto Apple Valley · · Updated

You don't have to drive across the High Desert to find out what a repair will cost. Our online photo estimate lets you start the process from wherever you are.
How it works
- Tap the Get a Photo Estimate button.
- Take photos of the damage from a few angles. Wide shots help us see the whole panel; close-ups show the detail.
- Add your contact info and submit.
Our estimators review the photos and follow up with a preliminary estimate. When you're ready, bring the vehicle in for a full inspection and we'll finalize everything with your insurance company.
Tips for better photos
- Shoot in daylight, outdoors if possible.
- Wipe off dirt so scratches and dents are visible.
- Include a photo of your VIN plate or registration.
