Insurance Smash Repairs Moorabbin
If your vehicle has been damaged in an accident and the repair may involve an insurance claim, Paintworks Autobody can help with the repair side of the process from our Moorabbin workshop. We assess the damage, prepare repair information and complete panel and refinishing work once the required approvals are in place.
A Simpler Starting Point
What We Can Help With
Repair Estimate & Scope
The repair scope can include panel work, parts, preparation and refinishing required for the specific vehicle.
Insurer Communication
Where applicable, we can assist with repair information, assessment queries and documentation during the claim process.
Panel Beating
Damaged body panels are assessed for repair or replacement depending on the nature and severity of the damage.
Spray Painting
Repaired areas are prepared and refinished using colour-matching processes appropriate to the job.
Hidden Damage
If additional damage is discovered after disassembly, it can be documented before further repair work proceeds.
After an Accident
What to Do Before the Repair Starts
- Make sure everyone is safe and seek emergency assistance if required.
- Exchange driver and vehicle details where appropriate.
- Take clear photos of the vehicles, damage and surrounding scene when safe to do so.
- Contact your insurer and check the terms of your policy.
- If you want Paintworks to assess the repair, send us the damage photos and vehicle details.
Your Choice of Repairer
Whether you can choose your own repairer depends on the terms of your policy. Before authorising repairs, check your Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) or ask your insurer what choice-of-repairer provisions apply.
We can explain the repair process, but insurance cover, liability, excess and policy entitlements remain matters for you and your insurer.
Claim Types
Private, At-Fault & Not-at-Fault Repair Enquiries
Not at Fault
If another party may be responsible, keep photos and driver details and speak with your insurer about the claim process and available repair options.
At Fault / Own Damage
Your policy may cover repairs subject to its terms, excess and limits. Confirm those details with your insurer before authorising work.
Private Repair
If you are not claiming through insurance, we can still assess the body damage and discuss the repair work required.
