Hi All,
Some cow changed lanes without looking and ran into my Senator on Friday, damaging the front bar and front left quarter panel. So as thread title says I'm looking for a good panel shop in Adelaide to sort out my car.
I live in Port Adelaide and work in Edwardstown so would prefer somewhere near or between those two places, but happy to travel if someone has a suitably glowing recommendation for a panel beater.
Cheers
Dan

Try Australian Crash Repairs on Port Rd at Welland. Always plenty of BMW's and other luxury euro's in there. They did work on my old WRX and it was excellent.:)

You work at Edwardstown, have you heard of K and A opposite Castle Plaza and next to the tyre joint on the corner of South rd and Raglan Avenue? They do mechanic work as well as crash repairs, they have done two of my cars and one of my motorbikes that had a cracked fairing, the guy who did the crash repair work, his name is steve (thats if he is still there) and he used to work at the Mitsibishi factory for years doing paint repair there. Does a great job. Couldnt hurt to pop in for a quote.
I think they still do free loan cars too.

i haven't had the pleasure yet of using 1 of these guys but have heard shanahans on port rd do a good job!
there is also another panel shop on old port rd, lhs heading away from the city but i can't remember the name of the place atm. pretty big place and a very distinctive w/shop

Body Repair Shop
Stanbel Road, Salisbury
They resprayed my VR and done other panel work also. Great guys to deal with.
Edit: Just realised your wanting between Edwardstown and Port Adelaide. So probably not to close for you.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll see if my insurance company will let me use one of those mentioned.
EVLSS1 you are probably thinking of Eagle Paint & Panel?

Ah no don't go to shonky shannahans, I'm he'll fussy bout my car & took it to eagle paint n panel. They did a good job but not up to my standards. Hacked into my body side moulding left runs in paint work, didn't put V6 badge in the right spot, missing foam piece from inside engine bay. Just a little bit rough around the edges for my liking

the owner of shannahans is a family friend but i know two people who worked there and they both say to avoid the place, its gone downhill. one of them recommends perfection crash on the corner of grand junction and addison roads

After some dickhead pulled out in front of me a while back the VY was a bit worse for wear on the front left Grrrr car ended up a shannanhans(wasn't allowed to say were i wanted my car done:vpo: will change that) must say they did a great job only one little gap below headlight that i fixed myself other wise paint work etc all good.
Also had work done a eagle paint and panel they welded up my boot holes in my Blueve sedan and repainted and did a good job.
