PLEASE NOTE: Formal quotes from South Melbourne Smash Repairs are not free due to the amount of administration, spare parts liaisons, labour and hours it takes to dismantle and reassemble vehicles in order to provide an accurate quote.

It is impossible to deliver an accurate quote without taking the required time to inspect the vehicle from all angles, including checking for internal damage that may otherwise be unseen.

This process is time-consuming and complex and is the only way that you, as a consumer, can be completely satisfied that every potential issue with your vehicle has been identified and thoroughly assessed.

For these reasons, we only wish to deliver formal quotes from customers who intend to go through with the car repair.

By limiting formal quotations to those who are seriously considering getting their car repaired, South Melbourne Smash Repairs is able to provide quality quotes in a timely manner and reduce wasted resources on requests that may not lead to repairs.

This also benefits customers with cars in the shop.

South Melbourne Smash Repairs will contact you as soon as possible to discuss the next steps to repairing your car. A copy of this form will be emailed to you for your records.
