Sorry to drag up an old thread. I scratched my car yesterday and want to get a few quotes this weekend.

Being new to town, I do not have many friends that have dealt with panel beaters. I have owned my car for the last 2.5 years in Darwin and managed only to scratch the bottom of my front bumper, one rim and 2-3 shopping centre dents plus a couple of scratches that i buffed out.

In the month that I have been in Perth I have numerous new scratches, some that will require a respray, 4 new shopping centre dents and I managed to scratch my car yesterday morning reversing into my parking spot at work.

Has anyone dealt with any panel beaters recently or the ones listed in this thread? Were you very happy with the work?

I am not worried about price as long as it is done right the first time.

My car is very dirty at the moment as I am living in a hotel and the car is parked on the street till I can move into the rental place later this month. Should I wash it before I take it to the panel beaters for a quote?

Cheers
Michael
