I have recommended Northside Smash Reapirs to my family and friends (and colleagues) feeling assured that my loved ones would be in safe hands. Upon arriving at Northside Smash Repairs the female administration staff member offered me a coffee and my son a drink. Furthermore she went out of her way to find a TV show my son would enjoy watching and presented him with some colouring to keep him amused. She was very professional and thoughtful at all times. Steve Davies (who was extremely well presented) welcomed us warmly and immediately inspected my car. I was surprised when he wrote up a quote within minutes when I had previously been made to wait days to hear back from other companies. I was expecting the quote to be very expensive due to the lovely service I had received and also due to the immaculate presentation of their staff (very different to the other smash repair companies I had received quotes from). I was shocked when I was presented with a quote that was much lower than their competitors. Steve offered to start work on my vehicle immediately and explained that he would return my vehicle by tomorrow as the work required would need to be completed over two days. I was kept informed, throughout the entire process, of how the work was progressing and at what time I could collect my vehicle. Upon completion of my repairs my car was returned to me looking new and I was additionally presented with a paint correction pen (for future use on stone chips etc). I was overwhelmed by the outstanding service Steve had bestowed upon me. At all times Steve and the staff were extremely professional and accommodating in order to make the process as easy as possible for me. I wasnt surprised when I discovered that my employer was also extremely satisfied with the work he had also had completed by Steve and the team at Northside Smash Repairs. They well deserve their reputation for standing above their competitors.

Handy tips

Are you beating yourself up trying to find a panel beater?

Use these insider tips to find the best car panel beaters near you:

No one likes to be without their car. Ask for a clear timeline of when you can expect the car to be returned to you or if it’s a small job, have a mobile panel beater come to you.
Likewise, ask if they are able to transport you after dropping your car off or provide a discount on a rental car.
Do they use genuine parts? If you receive a quote substantially lower than other comparative quotes there’s a good chance they are using inferior parts.
Genuine parts made by the manufacturer will both fit, function and last better. Always ask the panel beater, regardless of price if they use genuine parts.
It’s quite common to see panel beater quotes offered as generic package instead of a preferably tailored quote. However, it’s a good idea to ask if they have experience with your model of car to ensure no hidden cost or quality surprises.
Paint is an often overlooked consideration. Beware cheap and nasty paints that degrade quickly, peel off easily and are quite often made with toxic compounds.

Don’t settle for second best and regret it later. Use these tips to get yourself a quote from a panel beater that’s right for you!
