Good Body Work/kit Workshop Needed.

[ToF]

Hey guys,

Hypothetical case here....

A person backed into my car, but thing is my front bar was already damaged, they don't know that.

Basically I want a list of reputable or good bodywork places that you guys actually trust with your car. I just want to get about 2 - 3 quotes. I don't wanna go with the insurance company's dodgy brothers panel beaters so if you guys could list a couple of places you trust I would greatly appreciate it.

South-East suburbs if possible.

What I'm trying to do is scam insurance slightly.

I'm going to ask the place to do a quote for me on a aftermarket front bar instead of a stock 2nd handy with the reason being it was impossible to source a 2nd hand of the exact front bar, so the next cheapest kit up is what I want.

Anyone here done something similar and how easy do insurance companies go along with that?

Thanks for your help guys!

Talk to Martins Panelmasters in Upper FTG they'll sort you out. Had work done by them a number of times, all quality and colours matched to perfection unlike some places.

Thanks guys, good stuff so far!

I'm down the Frankston way so for the moment I'll probably only try out DT Panels, can I have an address please ABuSD?
