Smash Repairers

[CeJay]

Just got rear ended. Cars still drivable, not too damaged, no broken lights, but the boot doesn't close properly.

Anyone have any recommendations for smash repairers? preferably on the north side? I was thinking of going to Fuller brothers in belco? Anyone been to them?

Thanks for the tips

Sorry wouldn't go anywhere near Canberra Automotive refinishers, last time I went there, had to get it redone, and wasn't really happy with their work. I am going to try Belconnen auto refinishers though.

Thats crap Chris... Try Prestige in Hume very very good they did my sides after some f**ked keys had been run down them.

Go to Craig Hall in Phillip, a mate of mine works there, they do really good work.

Fuller Brothers aren't bad, they fixed up the half assed work that Gungahlin Bodyworks could not get right after a couple of attempts with my old S14.

U must be one of the lucky ones, they did my car when it was side swiped, they buffed it so much that you can see where the paint burnt, they refused to fix it. It wasnt part of the quote, and yes they did it for free, but i wasnt expecting them to ruin the paintwork.

I dont recommend Barret Bro's either. Let me know if you want to see pics of there expertise when it comes to 'bogging' a 60k car!!

I've ended up going with belconnen auto refinishers, hopefully they do a good job. Getting some other stuff done while its getting fixed.

Let me know how it goes. I got a quote from them for $1500 to respray my front and rear bumpers.... I felt it was a bit of a rip-off but if they do a good job it might be worth it.

Thats steep, it cost me $500 in Darwin for front and back on my (stock) dark metallic blue N15 Pulsar SSS. If it can be done for that cheap in Darwin, then no one has any excuse down here since darwin is 5-10% dearer than anywhere else in oz.

It was something to do with having to buy chrome strips as the ones already on the bumpers can't be removed and replaced? I'm going take the bumpers apart myself soon and just get them repainted without getting charged for R&R

Ill add them to my photobucket tonight, and post them also...

Sorry to hear about your bad luck Chris. Was going to recommend a few places not to take your car to but hopefully those guys will do a good job.

Picked up the car on Friday, can't fault them on the work, color match looks to be nearly spot on. I'd use them again, I was disappointed with their customer service though, didn't keep me up to date with delays, but I can live with that. Ended up costing 1000 to fix the rear guard dent, rhd rust patch and fit the new front bar, the rest was payed by the other party.
