Mobile auto body estimate in Downtown Boise garage?

What should I do today after a garage hit?

Document the scene with photos of the damage, the garage location, and any witness or ticket details before the car is moved. Get an estimate before authorizing any repairs, especially when insurance is involved. Weather can interrupt an outdoor inspection, so ask whether a dry or indoor spot is available.

Can a mobile pro handle the mechanical side too?

Mobile pros can assess damage and provide an estimate for your insurance claim. Mechanical repairs and most body work usually require a shop, so the pro may recommend a shop after the inspection. Ask for the estimate in writing, itemized by parts and labor.

What should I check when hiring?

Idaho does not issue a state mechanic license, so verify business registration and any Boise business license. Ask for proof of insurance. Ask whether the pro holds ASE certification and check the credentials directly with the issuer.

How much does a body estimate usually cost?

Minor bumper and paint repairs typically run in the hundreds of dollars, while collision repairs often reach the thousands. Pricing depends on the vehicle, damage, labor, parts and repair time. Many Boise body shops offer free estimates, including walk-in estimates.
