TLS Automotive offers a free virtual estimate for drivers in Fort Myers and Lee County.
You upload photos from your phone without visiting the shop first.
A TLS team member reviews the images and texts your preliminary repair quote.
What photos to include
Capture wide shots of the whole vehicle and close-ups of each damaged panel.
Include VIN or license plate if asked on the form.
Multiple angles help us see bumper, door, and structural damage.
Best practices for photo estimates
Take photos in daylight when possible for accurate color and damage visibility.

Photograph tire and suspension areas when wheel damage is suspected.
Send interior photos if airbags deployed or dash components were affected.
