Hi everyone,
I am planning to fix my car. There are so many things wrong with it at the moment! I have a lot of scratches on the car. The body kits are not fitted properly too. I am considering to respray my car.
I live in Sydney. Can anyone recommend any good garage with reasonable price?
Thanks heaps

i know a good shop

therres this nice little place in hornsby called quick fit motorsport they do some great stuff for a good price, cant remember exactaly how much, but they fit a bigger turbo and new intercooler to my old celica, and repaired this annoying oil leak in the sump for pretty cheap, and my car was an absolute bomb! dont think they do re sprays though

what does your car look like benza ? I live near hornsby, when ever i try grages around here though, they scratch their head, and are quick to leech my wallet

Many of us use Unique Auto Sports at castle hill...
as far as i'm concerned they know the most about FTO's in sydney and their pricing isn't bad...
what did you want done?

I should probably clarify that I am actually looking for a body shop.
I don't even know where to start...
First is my front bumper crack, i managed to find a second hand bumper. My car is silver and the bumper is white, so it needs to be resprayed and installed
Second, I have a dent on the bonet as it was vandalised. I'm pretty sure that the bonet can be fixed.
Third, I have scratches on the driver's door, passenger's side rear quarter panel, and side mirror.
Lastly, when I imported the car, the body kits are not fitted properly. There are gaps on the side skirt and I might want the side skirt to be resprayed as they have scratches on the bottom. Then, the rear spoiler is wobbly.
*sigh
So, does anyone knows a good body shop in Syd?

avoid oxford smash repairs on parramatta rd strathfield!
they sprayed my bodykit a different shade of white to my car and also it took them 3weeks to do that. I wanted it fixed and i said i wouldnt pay until it was fixed so they said we're not going to fix it and your not getting your car back until you pay, so i just got my spare key n drove away because the car was outside haha!

Avoid prestige smash repairs in hornsby, i too got mine a different shade, except it also had lumps of paint all over it, and then 6 months later it all bubled and cracked

it cost me nearly 1k to spray that bumper, and thats the job i got !
