Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does a car smash repair involve?

    A car smash repair typically includes a full assessment of the damage, followed by panel beating, part replacement, painting, and final finishing. The process starts with a thorough inspection to determine the extent of visible and hidden damage, especially in the structural frame or suspension. 


    Once assessed, technicians carry out panel repairs or replacements, ensuring the frame is realigned to factory specifications if necessary. After the structural work is complete, the car is sanded, primed, and painted using colour-matched paints to seamlessly blend new and old panels. 


    Finally, the car undergoes polishing, quality checks, and sometimes mechanical inspections before being returned to the owner. The entire process ensures the vehicle looks great and drives safely again.



  • How long does it take to repair a smashed car or 4WD?

    The time it takes to repair a smashed car or 4WD can vary depending on the extent of the damage. Minor repairs, like small dents or bumper scratches, can often be completed within a few days. Moderate damage involving panel replacements or paintwork may take 1–2 weeks. 


    If the damage is more severe—impacting the frame, multiple body panels, or mechanical systems—it could take several weeks, especially if parts need to be ordered or insurance approval is delayed. It's also worth noting that 4WDs can sometimes take longer due to specialised parts or more rugged body structures. Most repairers will provide an estimated timeline after the initial assessment.

  • Do 4WD smash repairs cost more than regular cars?

    Yes, 4WD smash repairs often cost more than those for regular cars due to several factors. First, 4WD vehicles typically have more complex and robust frames, which can require more time and effort to repair. They may also have off-road features like bull bars, underbody protection, or lift kits that complicate the repair process. 


    Additionally, 4WD parts—especially OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts—can be more expensive and harder to source. Paint matching on rugged or custom finishes can also add to the cost. That said, the final price depends on the make, model, and extent of the damage, so it’s best to get a detailed quote from a qualified repairer.
