This helps us identify the affected areas, understand the general extent of the damage, and provide early guidance on the next steps before organising a physical inspection.

Southbank Smash Repair FAQs
Do you use genuine parts for repairs?
Yes. We use genuine OEM parts when replacements are required, helping maintain proper fit and overall consistency.
Do you assist with insurance related repairs?
Yes. We work with most insurance companies and assist Southbank customers throughout the claims process. Whether the claim is made through your own policy or you are not at fault, our team can help. If your policy allows you to choose your repairer, you may nominate South City Motor Body Works to complete your smash repairs.
Are your technicians experienced in vehicle repairs?
Our technicians have years of practical experience restoring different vehicle types, including BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volkswagen, Lexus, and Mazda, supporting accurate repair work.
Is there a warranty included with the repairs?
All repair work completed at our workshop is covered by a lifetime workmanship warranty for added reassurance.
Can you repair various types of collision damage?
We handle a wide range of repairs, from light marks to moderate impact damage. Each case is assessed individually to determine the correct repair method.
Do I need to make a booking before visiting?
We recommend contacting us before visiting so we can confirm availability and prepare for the assessment.
How long does a repair normally take?
Timeframes depend on the extent and type of damage. After assessing the vehicle, we can provide an estimated repair duration.
What should I do after an accident?
Ensure safety first and gather the required information. If another driver is involved and you’re at fault, it’s generally recommended to lodge a claim with your insurer. If the damage is minor and no other vehicle is involved, you may wish to obtain a repair quote first before deciding whether to claim.
What if I am not at fault?
If the other party is at fault, this is generally treated as a third-party insurance claim, meaning their insurer is responsible for covering the cost of your repairs and any eligible replacement vehicle during the repair period. After the accident, take clear photos of the scene and damage, and collect the other driver’s contact and insurance details. Once you’ve secured the necessary information, get in touch with South City Motor Body Works and we’ll guide you through the next steps.
