Both of the Phils from South Melbourne Smash Repairs were unbelievably helpful during the process of having my car assessed for repairs. They were incredibly helpful, thorough, and generous with their time and the quality of their service is unrivalled. I came because of the positive google reviews and now I wouldn't go anywhere else! Being a single female, in a new town, with no mechanical knowledge I was concerned that I'd be taken advantage of or treated poorly - but I could not have felt more supported and taken care of during this process. I'm so grateful for the team and their care and attention to detail. Couldn't recommend them more!!

They have organised for everything beforehand, and their service included legal representation, too. All I had to do was to drop off my damaged car at their shop, provide the contact details of the other person who was involved in the accident, sit into the loan car, and I was on my way. Phillip kept me updated about the progress of the repair every week, until my car was ready to pick up. The quality of their work was outstanding, and the guys at the shop were amazing to deal with, especially Phillip. Highly recommended.
