South Melbourne’s Best-Rated Car Body Shop
For over four decades, we’ve delivered unbeatable quality smash repairs, panel beating, and refinishing services – tailored to meet the unique needs of every customer, from private vehicle owners to commercial fleet operators.
In 2016, South City entered an exciting new chapter under the ownership of brothers Phillip and Robert Barberic. With deep family roots in the automotive repair industry, Phill brings over 25 years of hands-on experience. He trained in the UK under the guidance of his father, Frank Barberic, a respected industry expert with more than 40 years of experience. This legacy of excellence continues to guide our work today.
As a family owned and operated business, we prioritise trust, transparency, and top-tier service. Our commitment is simple: deliver unbeatable quality repairs, expert insurance guidance, clear communication and fast turnarounds – without compromise.
