FAQs
What is smash repair?
Smash repair is the process of restoring a damaged vehicle, usually after an accident or collision, to its original or near-original condition. It typically involves repairing or replacing damaged panels, straightening the chassis if it has been bent, and repainting affected areas to match the existing finish. Smash repairers use specialised tools and techniques to ensure that both the appearance and structural integrity of your vehicle are restored. The process can range from minor cosmetic repairs to extensive rebuilds depending on the severity of the damage. Professional smash repair ensures your car is roadworthy and retains its resale value, which is essential for both safety and long-term investment.
Will my car be as good as new after smash repairs?
When done by a reputable smash repairer, your car should be restored to its original condition in terms of both safety and aesthetics. Professional repairers use high-quality materials, factory-standard paint systems, and expert techniques to ensure a flawless finish. Structural repairs are performed to manufacturer specifications, ensuring your car is safe to drive. However, it's important to choose a repairer with proven experience and qualifications. Keep in mind that while visual restoration can be near perfect, long-term performance also depends on the quality of parts used and proper repair methods. Always ask about warranties and guarantees on repairs.
Can I choose my smash repairer for insurance claims?
In Australia, most car insurance policies allow you to nominate your preferred repairer, though this depends on your insurer’s specific policy terms. Some insurers have preferred or partner repairers but generally permit policyholders to select their own, especially if they have a trusted local repairer. Choosing your own repairer can be beneficial if you value personal service, specific workmanship standards, or quicker turnaround times. However, it’s crucial to confirm this option with your insurer before lodging a claim. Using a non-approved repairer might mean you are responsible for costs exceeding what your insurer deems reasonable.
