Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between panel beating and smash repairs?
While the terms are often used interchangeably, panel beating is actually one part of the smash repair process. Smash repairs refer to the full scope of restoring a damaged vehicle after a collision — this can include structural repairs, panel beating, spray painting, rust removal, and even parts replacement. Panel beating specifically involves reshaping or replacing body panels that have been dented or damaged. In most cases, a smash repair job will involve both panel beating and other services to return the vehicle to its pre-accident condition.
How long does it usually take to complete smash repairs?
The timeframe for smash repairs depends on the severity of the damage, availability of parts, and whether your repair is part of an insurance claim. Minor repairs may be completed within a few days, while more complex structural damage could take a couple of weeks. If parts need to be ordered or additional approvals are required from your insurer, that may extend the process. A good repairer will give you an upfront estimate and keep you informed throughout the job — from quote to completion — so you know what to expect.
Will my car’s warranty or insurance be affected if I choose my own smash repairer?
In most cases, you are legally entitled to choose your own repairer, even if your insurer recommends one. Choosing a trusted, licensed smash repairer won’t void your insurance policy or vehicle warranty, as long as they meet industry standards and use approved repair methods. Many drivers opt for repairers they trust, especially if they want personalised service or prefer to keep their repairs local. Always check with your insurer to understand your policy’s guidelines — but rest assured, using a qualified repairer generally won’t impact your coverage.
