Accident damage estimates at our Perivale workshop
Need a car repair estimate in Greenford or Perivale after an accident? MH Auto Repair Centre gives your vehicle a free inspection at our workshop at Fleetway Business Park, Perivale UB6 7LD, then a clear repair estimate based on what we find — for your insurer, for paying privately, or just to help you decide what to do next. Send your vehicle details and a few photos of the damage on WhatsApp to 07533 280206 and we’ll arrange the inspection.
What’s included in a car repair estimate
An accident repair estimate is our written assessment of what your car needs and what the work is likely to involve. It typically covers:
- Which panels or parts are affected, and whether they can be repaired or need replacing
- The paint and colour-matching work involved
- Any damage that isn’t obvious from photos alone, such as misaligned panels or damage hidden behind trim
- A description of the repair approach, so you know roughly what to expect before work starts
Because it’s based on an in-person inspection rather than photos alone, it’s usually more accurate than a rough quote given over the phone. If the estimate confirms significant bodywork damage, our accident repair page covers the panel and paint work involved in more detail.
When you might need an estimate
People usually come to us for an estimate in one of a few situations:
- Making an insurance claim — many insurers need a repair estimate before they’ll authorise the work
- Paying privately — so you know the likely cost before deciding whether to go through insurance at all
- Deciding whether it’s worth repairing — comparing the estimate against the vehicle’s value or your excess
- Getting a second opinion — on an estimate or repair plan from elsewhere
If your accident wasn’t your fault, our Non-Fault Accident Repairs page covers what you may be entitled to alongside your estimate. Getting an estimate doesn’t commit you to booking the repair with us — it’s simply there to help you make an informed decision.
How to get your free estimate
- Message us on WhatsApp — send your vehicle details and a few photos of the damage.
- Free vehicle inspection — we look over the damage in person at our Perivale/Greenford workshop.
- You receive your estimate — covering the work involved and what’s likely to be needed.
- You decide what’s next — use it for your insurance claim, to compare options, or go ahead with the repair whenever you’re ready.
What affects your estimate
Every accident is different, so no two estimates look the same. Factors that typically affect the figure include:
- How many panels or parts are affected
- Whether damaged parts can be repaired or need replacing
- Whether genuine parts are needed for a proper fit and finish
- The extent of paintwork and colour-matching required
We can’t give an accurate figure without seeing the vehicle, which is why the inspection comes first — but these are the main things our team will be looking at.
Can I get a car repair estimate online?
You can start online. Send your vehicle details and a few clear photos of the damage on WhatsApp and the team will advise on the next step. We don’t offer an online estimate calculator, though. A figure from photos alone or from a calculator is only a rough guide, because damage behind bumpers, trim and panels often doesn’t show in a picture. That’s why the firm figure comes after the free vehicle inspection at our workshop: a clear quote based on what we actually find. For smaller scuffs and chips, our car paint repair page explains the options.

FAQs
Is a car repair estimate free?
The vehicle inspection is free, and we use it to prepare your repair estimate, so you get a clear quote after the inspection. Getting an estimate doesn’t commit you to booking the repair with us.
Can I use this estimate for my insurance claim?
Yes, you can use our estimate to support an insurance claim. Your insurer will confirm exactly what they need, but our estimate covers the repair work involved, which is usually the main thing they’re looking for.
Do I need an estimate if I’m paying privately rather than claiming?
It’s not compulsory, but it’s a good idea. An estimate gives you a clear idea of the likely cost before you commit, which is especially useful if you’re weighing up whether to make a claim at all.
How long does it take to get an estimate?
The inspection itself doesn’t take long once your vehicle is with us. Message us on WhatsApp with photos and your vehicle details first, and we’ll advise on booking the inspection and getting your estimate.
Does getting an estimate mean I have to book the repair with MH Auto Repair Centre?
No. The estimate is there to help you decide what to do next, whether that’s proceeding with us, using it for your insurance claim, or comparing your options elsewhere.
What should I send to get an accurate estimate?
Your vehicle make and model, a few clear photos of the damage, and a short description of what happened are enough for us to get started, though the in-person inspection is what gives us the full picture.
Will the estimate change once the work starts?
It can, if further damage is found once panels are opened up or the vehicle is inspected more closely during the repair. The team will talk you through anything that changes before carrying on.
Can I get a car repair estimate online?
You can start one online by sending photos of the damage and your vehicle details on WhatsApp to 07533 280206, but we don’t offer an online estimate calculator. The firm estimate follows the free vehicle inspection at our Perivale workshop, because photos can miss damage hidden behind bumpers and trim.
