Anyone recommend a good smash repairer north of the harbour in Sydney?

Ahhh you haven't bent the SP again have you Pete?

Seeing the work that has been done by Hume Smash repair on a number of Club cars, I'd think I'd take it (what ever car it is) to Mick. It's a bit further but an extra 1/2 hour drive to get a good job is worth it.

Yep, my car's a magnet for s*u*id P platers & little y things. Might have to paint it black so it doesn't look like a bullseye.

I've been to Concourse before, great but slow. Looks like I'll give Hume a go.

Thanks guys.

I vote Hume. Their speed actually depends on how busy they are. I've had my car in there twice and both times the waiting period varied.

It definitely came back sick and span though on both counts, and everyone else's comments are the same.

Also worth noting is that Mick has a certificate from the MX5 club of NSW on his wall for winning a Concourse De Elegance, and I think Dennis (the head repairer/assessor/whatever it is he actually does, but he's definitely a front of house person) has an SE (or at least had an SE... or something along those lines). They know their '5s out that way.

Sorry to hear about your incident Peter.

Stowe Smash Repairs in Artarmon are also very good.

The problem is, all the really good repairers are slow, as they are so busy with work.

There is also a company across the road from my office that does very good work, called Kass Smash, if you're willing to come to Marrickville.
