Does anyone know of any places in Melbourne (SE area preferably) to fix up scratches. I've got scratches on both sides of rear bumper, one on RHS of front bumper and a crack down the middle of front bumper - ALL FORNICATING HIT & RUNS!!! I know of Rasdon Smash Repairs on Keys Rd but I heard they are too expensive. Any other ideas?
