Demo content — Ironline Auto Body & Wrap is a fictional shop. This page exists to demonstrate the KeoCodes Site Engine. The timelines and ranges described below are invented, and no request sent from this page reaches anybody.
Estimates start with photos. Fill in the short form below — year, make and model, what happened, and how to reach you — then reply to the confirmation email with four or five pictures. We send back a written range, usually within one business day, along with what we would need to see in person before that range becomes a number.

This site does not take photo uploads, on purpose. Photos come to us by email so they stay in one thread with your estimate instead of sitting in a web form.

A photo estimate is a starting point, not a promise. Cameras flatten dents, hide cracked brackets, and lie about colour. On collision work we often cannot commit to a figure until the bumper cover is off and we can see what the impact actually did.

Keep insurance and identity details off this website. We do not want your VIN, your licence plate, your driver's licence, your policy or claim number, or your home address in a web form. A claim number next to a name is enough for somebody to impersonate you to an insurer, and no estimate needs one. Bring that paperwork to the counter, or give it over the phone once we are actually working on your car.

The photo estimate

What happens, in order

1

You send the form

Year, make and model, what happened, and how to reach you. That is the whole ask — no account, no paperwork, and nothing an insurance form would recognise.

2

You reply to the confirmation with photos

The confirmation email lands straight away. Reply to it with four or five pictures and they stay in one thread with your estimate. No photos yet, or no way to take them? Say so on the form and we will sort it out on the phone.

3

We look at it properly

Someone from the shop floor reads it, not a call centre. If the pictures are not telling us enough, we will ask for one more from a specific angle rather than guess high.

4

A written range comes back

Usually within one business day. It says what we think the work is, the band we expect it to land in, and — plainly — what could move it once we see the car.

5

You bring the car in

Fifteen minutes at the counter. We look at the panel in daylight, check the gaps, and turn the range into a written estimate. Insurance paperwork, if there is any, is handled here rather than online.

6

You approve, then we book it

Nothing gets ordered or started until you have read the estimate and said yes. You get a target date and the stage list, so you can check where the car is any day it is with us.

7

If teardown changes the job, we call

That call is the supplement. We tell you what we found, what it adds, and what it does to the date. It goes ahead when you say so and not before.

What to send, and what to leave out

Photos that actually help

  • One from about ten feet back, showing the whole side of the car
  • One straight on at the damage, close enough to fill the frame
  • One at a low angle across the panel — this is the one that shows a dent's real shape
  • One of anything cracked, hanging, or rubbing
  • For a wrap or PPF quote: all four sides, plus a close-up of the roof and hood in daylight

Outside, in daylight, with the car dry. A wet panel hides scratches and a garage light hides everything.

Send them as a reply to your confirmation email, not through this page. In the form itself: the year, make and model, what happened, and whether the car is driveable.

Please leave these off

  • VIN
  • Licence plate
  • Driver's licence or any ID number
  • Insurance policy or claim number
  • Your home address
  • Date of birth

None of it makes an estimate more accurate, and a claim number sitting next to your name is exactly what somebody would need to impersonate you to an insurer.

If a field feels like it belongs on an insurance form, it does not belong on this website. We take that paperwork at the counter or over the phone, once your car is actually with us.

We also do not need photos of documents. Just the car.

Before you fill in the form

The form below asks for your vehicle, what happened, and how to reach you. That is all it should ever contain. Do not type a VIN, plate, licence number, policy number, claim number or home address into it — we will not use them, and we would rather they were never sent. There is no upload box either: photos come back as a reply to your confirmation email. If your car is not driveable, say so in the message and we will talk about getting it here.

Request an Estimate

Demo content — Ironline Auto Body & Wrap is a fictional shop used to demonstrate the KeoCodes Site Engine. Tell us about the car and what happened, and we will send back a written range within one business day. Estimates start with photos: send this form first, then reply to the confirmation email with your pictures. Vehicle and contact details only, please. Do not send a VIN, a licence plate, a driver's licence, or an insurance policy or claim number through this site — we handle all of that in person or by phone.

Fields marked * are required.

The confirmation email lands here, and that is the email you reply to with photos.

Optional. Faster than email when we have a question about a photo.

How should we reach you?

Year, make and model are all we need to identify the car. No VIN, no plate.

Worth telling us. Metallics, pearls and older silvers are the hardest colours to match, and knowing early changes how we quote the blend.

Which areas are affected?

Pick everything that looks wrong, even if you are not sure it is related.

Is the car drivable?
How will you send photos?

This site does not accept uploads on purpose. Photos come back to us by email so they stay in one thread with your estimate.

Optional, and only what helps us read the photos — prior repairs on that panel, noises since the impact, or a deadline you are working to. Please do not include a VIN, a licence plate, a driver's licence, or an insurance policy or claim number. A claim number next to your name is enough for someone to impersonate you to an insurer, so this site never asks for one. Those details belong at the front desk or on a phone call. We will never tell you what an insurer will pay — that conversation is between you and them.

Questions we get asked

How accurate is a photo estimate?
Accurate enough to tell you the size of the problem, and not accurate enough to be a quote. Photos flatten dents and hide what is behind a bumper cover. We give you a band and we tell you what would move it, rather than a confident number we would have to walk back later.
What is a supplement, and why did one appear?
A supplement is an addition to the original estimate, written after teardown shows damage the outside of the car did not. A cracked absorber behind an intact bumper cover is the classic one. Supplements are normal on collision work — the thing that should never be normal is hearing about one for the first time on the final bill. We call you, and the work waits for your yes.
Can you match the paint on my ten-year-old car?
Usually, and not from the code alone. A car that has sat in the sun for a decade is no longer the colour on its sticker, and silver, pearl and tri-coat finishes are the hardest to chase. We mix, spray a test card, and hold it against your panel in daylight before anything goes on the vehicle — then blend into the panels either side so there is no edge for your eye to catch.
How long will my car be here?
The usual bands are 2 to 3 days for a bumper respray, 3 to 5 for a single panel, 1 to 2 weeks for multi-panel collision work, and 2 to 3 weeks for a full respray. You get a target date at drop-off and a stage you can check any day. Parts are what moves dates most often, and we will name the part rather than say the word "delays".
Do you work with my insurance company?
We will write you an honest estimate and give you the same document we would give anyone paying cash, and we are happy to talk to an adjuster about the work itself. What your insurer decides to pay is between you and them. We will not tell you what they will cover, because that is not ours to promise.
Should I claim, or just pay for it?
That is your call and it depends on your deductible and your policy, which we do not want to see. What we can do is give you a written number so you have something real to weigh it against.
Is a wrap safe for my paint?
On sound paint, yes, and it comes off later. On paint that is already peeling or flaking, the clear coat can come away with the film. We inspect the panels before we book a wrap and tell you straight if yours is not a good candidate.
Can you just tell me a price over the phone?
We can tell you the range on this site, which is what we would say anyway. A number specific to your car needs eyes on the car. Anybody quoting you a firm figure sight unseen is either guessing or planning to revise it.
Is Ironline Auto Body & Wrap a real shop?
No. It is a fictional shop used to demonstrate the KeoCodes Site Engine. Every price, timeline, person and job on this site is invented, and no estimate request sent from it reaches anybody.

Rather talk it through?

Call the front counter.

Some jobs are easier described than photographed, and a non-driveable car is a conversation, not a form. Either way, nobody here minds the question before you commit to anything.
