A collision leaves you with a damaged car and a long list of questions. Our Willetton workshop takes both off your hands — assessing the damage properly, quoting in writing, and rebuilding your vehicle to its pre-accident condition.
We repair everything from car park knocks needing straightforward dent removal to serious front-end impacts, for private customers and insurance claims alike. Every job starts with a free inspection so you know the cost and timeline upfront.
Every vehicle is stripped back and inspected before quoting. Hidden damage behind bumpers and panels is far more common than it looks, and finding it early prevents mid-repair delays and surprise costs.
Impact damage often shifts the frame beneath the panels. We use hydraulic straightening equipment to bring the chassis back within tolerance, restoring the crumple zones that protect you in a future collision
Panels are reshaped and reworked wherever the metal allows it, and replaced only when repair would compromise strength or finish. Welding, alignment and rust treatment are handled in-house by qualified tradespeople.
Your factory colour is read by a computerised matching system, then sprayed and cured in a dedicated booth. Trim, lights and sensors are refitted and checked before the car is handed back.
We work alongside trusted vehicle brands, dealerships and insurance companies right across Perth and Western Australia to keep collision repairs moving without unnecessary hold-ups.
These long-standing relationships mean claims are assessed faster, approvals come through sooner, and repairs meet manufacturer safety and finish standards.
Some of the brands and insurers we frequently work with include:
Collision repair pricing depends on how far the damage travels beneath the surface, your vehicle's make, and the paint system it left the factory with. The table below is a general guide, and our panel beating cost guide breaks the numbers down further.
| Repair Type | Estimated Price | Average Time |
|---|---|---|
| Minor Dent & Scratch Repair | From $350 | 1–2 days |
| Single Panel Repair & Respray | From $650 | 2–3 days |
| Bumper Repair or Replacement | From $400 | 1–2 days |
| Bumper Bar Repair / Replacement | From $400 | 1–2 days |
| Multi-Panel Collision Repair | From $1,800 | 4–7 days |
| Structural & Chassis Realignment | From $3,500 | 1–3 weeks |
| Full Vehicle Respray | From $4,500 | 1–2 weeks |
Whether it was a rear-end shunt on Leach Highway or a heavier front-end impact, we return crash-damaged vehicles to pre-accident condition — inside, underneath and on the surface. We repair:
Every repair is checked for fit, alignment and finish before your vehicle leaves the workshop. If the damage is limited to one area, standalone bumper repairs are quoted separately.
Repaired metal is only half the job — the finish is what people actually see. Our panel and paint work is matched to your car's original colour code and texture. This covers:
Paint is cured in an enclosed booth rather than the open air, which keeps dust out of the finish and helps the colour hold up.
Serious impacts move more than sheet metal. When the chassis, suspension points or safety structure are affected, the repair has to be measured and documented — not eyeballed. Our structural work includes:
We handle the assessment and paperwork directly with your insurer, so the claim progresses while your vehicle is already booked in and being worked on.

Most smash repairs in Perth fall between $350 and $6,000, with the majority of insurance jobs landing in the $1,500–$3,000 range. Labour is typically charged between $80 and $150 per hour depending on the work involved. The final figure comes down to damage depth, parts availability and paint type, which is why an in-person inspection always beats a phone estimate.
Often, yes — but it isn't automatic. Many comprehensive policies include a choice-of-repairer option, some offer it as a paid extra, and others limit you to the insurer's network. Check your product disclosure statement first, and see our breakdown of whether you have to use your insurer's recommended repairer. Tell your insurer your preference when you lodge the claim rather than afterwards..
Minor panel and paint work usually takes one to three days. Moderate collision damage runs about four to seven days, while structural repairs can take one to three weeks. Parts availability is the most common cause of delay, particularly for imported models and vehicles fitted with driver-assist sensors.
Yes. We prepare the estimate, submit the documentation, liaise with the assessor and follow the approval through. You deal with us rather than the call centre.
A panel beater focuses on reshaping and refinishing damaged panels. A smash repairer covers the wider job — structural straightening, mechanical and electrical work, parts replacement and claim management. We do both under one roof.
Yes. If your vehicle isn't roadworthy, call us and we'll organise recovery to the Willetton workshop.
