Went to South Melbourne Smash repairs after a large ute reversed into the front of my toyota Aurion, causing damage to my radiator and air condenser unit. I was impressed at the professionalism with how my issue was handled, and the quality service I received from all people involved. Would gladly return for their services in the future. Thanks again to Phil and the rest of the crew.

Masters of their craft with an unreal focus on customer service. My new-ish Vdub was repaired so well by them, it reminded me of the day I picked the car up from the dealership. Both Phil's and the team also went above and beyond to help me identify a factory problem with the vehicle, providing me the documentation, evidence and support to have it rectified by VW. I'm a very appreciative customer!

The team at South Melbourne Smash Repairs are a cut above most smash repair operators I have experienced. They are absolutely meticulous when it comes to preparing an accurate quote. They are proactive when it comes to receiving updates on your repair. You never chase them…they come to you with information as it comes to hand. Their quality is second to none. That’s why they do so many prestige vehicles. And most importantly…what they quote is what you are invoiced. Couldn’t ask for a better service…well done and thank you.

I've never dealt with a more professional, communicative and helpful smash repairs company. Phil and Phil (and their team), went beyond to help us get our van back on the road. They accommodated everything we needed to feel supported, informed and held our hand in regards to the insurance process. Furthermore and very importantly, the repair results where of a high standard. I seriously couldn't recommend them more highly and we are very happy withy the results.
