  I am happy with the paintwork and service. Shaun, the Operations Manager, was excellent and courteous. I called in the morning and said I needed to fix the car by the weekend. Sent the car in, he took a look and provided a reasonable quote. The car got fixed on the same day, and I got a call back from Shaun saying my car was ready. I would recommend their service - efficient, reasonably priced, and excellent customer service.

  Amazing service! Great transparency and communication in terms of the time frame they'd have my car for repairs (1.5 weeks). They even waited back on a Wednesday arvo for me to pick it up after work. Car came back as good as new, they vacuumed and cleaned it too! Couldn't be happier with Shawn and his team there ?
