Mazda Smash Repair FAQs
Do you use genuine Mazda parts?
Yes. We use only genuine Mazda parts for all repairs to keep your vehicle’s safety, quality, and warranty intact. Using genuine parts ensures every repair meets Mazda’s factory standards and maintains the car’s performance over time. We never install aftermarket or non-approved parts because they can affect your Mazda’s reliability. Every component fitted is designed to match your vehicle exactly as the manufacturer intended.
Can you help with insurance claims?
Yes, we regularly work with major insurance companies and can help guide you through the claims process. Some insurers may restrict where your car can be repaired, but if you’re not at fault, you have the right to choose your repairer. Our team can communicate directly with your insurer to make the process easier and faster. We can also help arrange a replacement vehicle while your Mazda is being repaired.
For more details, please see our Not At Fault or Insurance Repairs pages, or speak with one of our friendly staff for guidance.
Are your technicians qualified to repair Mazdas?
Yes. Our panel beaters and spray painters are fully qualified and have extensive experience working on Mazda vehicles. They understand the unique body structure, safety systems, and finishes across all Mazda models. Every repair follows Mazda-approved repair methods and uses advanced tools for precision and accuracy. You can trust that your vehicle will leave our workshop looking and performing at its best.
Do you repair all Mazda models?
Yes, we repair every Mazda model, from compact hatchbacks to large SUVs and sports coupes. Whether you drive a Mazda2, Mazda3, CX series SUV, or MX-5, our technicians have the expertise to handle it. Each model has unique engineering and paintwork standards, and we follow Mazda’s specifications carefully. We ensure your vehicle is restored to its pre-accident condition with lasting quality and detail.
How long will my repair take?
Repair times depend on the extent of the damage, the availability of parts, and insurer approval. Once we inspect your Mazda, we’ll give you a clear and realistic estimate of the timeline. Minor repairs may take only a few days, while more complex jobs can take longer. Throughout the process, we’ll keep you informed of the progress so you always know what to expect. Our goal is to return your Mazda to you as soon as possible without compromising quality.
Do you offer a warranty on repairs?
Yes. All Mazda smash repairs come with a lifetime workmanship warranty for as long as you own the vehicle. This warranty covers the quality of our repair work and materials used. If an issue ever arises related to the repair, simply bring your Mazda back, and we’ll fix it promptly. We take pride in the durability and reliability of our repairs, ensuring peace of mind for every customer.
I just crashed my Mazda. What should I do next?
What you should do next depends on the situation. If no other vehicle is involved – for example, if you’ve accidentally scraped a pole or reversed into something – it’s best to get a repair quote first. The cost of repairs may be similar to or less than your insurance excess, meaning a claim might not be necessary.
If another vehicle is involved and you’re at fault, the other party is entitled to choose their own repairer and may also be eligible for a hire car. In these cases, lodging an insurance claim is usually the best course of action.
If the fault is unclear, be sure to take clear photos of the damage, the other driver’s license and the accident scene, and gather the other driver’s contact and insurance details. Once you have this information, contact South City Motor Body Works to arrange a booking. Our team will assess the damage and guide you through your next steps to get your Mazda back on the road.
Someone has crashed into my Mazda. What should I do next?
If another driver has hit your Mazda and they’re at fault, this is treated as a third-party insurance claim. In this case, the other driver or their insurer is responsible for covering the repair costs – including a hire car if you need one while your Mazda is being repaired.
After the accident, make sure to collect the other driver’s name, address, registration, insurance details, and contact information for any witnesses. Take clear photos of the damage, the scene, and the other driver’s license for your records. Once you’ve gathered all the details, contact South City Motor Body Works to book an assessment.
We’ll walk you through the process and make sure your Mazda is restored to its original condition using manufacturer-approved parts and repair methods.
