A new online service has been launched to take the hassle out of a car repairs by offering motorists personalised quotes from local body repair shops. Car Body Bids allows drivers to upload photographs of their damaged cars. Garages can then put in bids with their best prices for the repair.
To get a quote, the owner takes a photo of the damage and uploads this, along with brief description of the job, to the carbodybids.com site, or via the company’s smart phone app. The platform then sends the image to a range of local body shops and mobile body repair networks, who send back a price to fix the problem. Bids from rated tradesmen are sent directly, either by email or to the smartphone, and the motorist can choose their preferred winning bid. It takes just few minutes to upload a repair job request and the service is free to use. Body shops select the job they want to bid for, so motorist are more likely to find a specialist or those best placed to complete the work.
Founder of car body bids Oliver O’brian created the business after being constantly frustrated by the time, money and fuel he was wasting driving from garage to garage trying to obtain a quote. He said “ We have designed Car Body Bids to be an easy way to use as possible, so motorist no longer need to spend the best part of a day looking for a garage to get their car fixed”.
