Minor Accident Repairs We Come to You
Utilising the very latest in mobile repair technology our growing team of qualified automotive paint technicians bring the repair shop to you.
Plastic Bumper Bars, spoilers and side skirts are commonly damaged through low-speed accidents on busy roads or misjudged parking. Your qualified Jim technician can repair scuffs and scrapes like they were never there.
Panel scratches and scuffs are often the unfortunate result of minor parking incidents, low speed accidents and general mishaps. For minor hits and knocks that crease or bend a panel, we restore it to its original shape, colour match and professionally paint it, leaving your car looking like new.
For those minor dents typically caused in shopping centre car parks we offer two specialised repair options depending on whether your dent has damaged the paint. Choosing the right service ensures the best result

Sean and his assistant did a repair job for me yesterday. Lead up communication was prompt, a competitive quote was provided before work was agreed to and commenced, he turned up at the agreed time and did a great job. Nice guy as well. Worth considering.
