IF YOU DON'T HEAR FROM US AFTER A
COUPLE OF DAYS... it
may because our email to you ended up in your spam filter or was blocked
by your mail server. You can always look on our Q&A section to see if
your answer is there. We
don't work Sundays or Bank Holidays, and it can take us a couple of
days to catch up with enquiries at the beginning of the week. If you
are in a hurry, you can always give us a call.
If you don't have
a photo don't worry, you can still send us your question, just be
aware that we may not be able to give you a good answer if we can't
see what we are being asked about. If you can't supply a photo, please
give us a description. You can also send us your photos and questions
even if you have no intention of using our services. We don't mind
at all!
Photo Tips - Try to get one good close up of any damaged
area, and then one shot which clearly shows the location... try and
get in the nearest 'landmark' like a wheel arch or headlamp. When taking
photos of dents, try taking them from a distance and zooming in. Use
the reflection of a wall or fence to help show the dents. If your camera
has problem focusing on chips or scratches, stick a piece of tape next
to the damaged area and focus in on that, this will also help us get an idea
of scale. When sending us photos of wheels, send us examples of the
worst of the damage and one full picture of the face of the wheel so we can
see what kind of finish it has.
The more information we have, the easier it is to answer! So you can
include information such as the age of your car, and even your location
- after all we might be able to recommend somebody closer.
