Good Body Work/kit Workshop Needed.


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

Hypothetical case here.... :D

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. :D

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

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. :D

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

Thanks for your help guys!

My son works there. Do yourself a favour. Ask for Harry and say Alan told you to go there

i heard some real bad things about most of the shops near spingvale station.....seems as though all their VACC certs have been taken away.....

i dunno might just all be bs....but id take the effort to ask if they are still certified

    • Good timing mate, welcome to God's country just in time for winter Seriously though....how cheap is rural/regional.
    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 😋
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
