Body Panel shop in Sydney

Sparky66 · 08-03-2008, 06:12 AM

Since I'm fitting an M-Sport rear bumper on my car (E92 coupe), can anyone recommend a top quality BMW panel repair shop in the Sydney area.

Scientific Motor Body Works in 445-483 Wattle Street, Broadway. Look for David Butler, he's the manager there.

Fixed my car there, although it took them more than 3 months to do so, it was pretty good.

Alto Artarmon have been good to me with quality workmanship.

Damien Patterson is the panel shop manager.

I use North Shore Classic in Artarmon. They have fixed both my cars absoluetly perfectly and had excellent customer service. You would never be able to tell that the cars had any damage.

Heaps of good ones around, most are in Artarmon. Stow Smash are the best in Sydney and in Artarmon.

Yep they quoted me $1900 to fix 2 chips in the passenger side door of my car. Alto quoted $900 and did a perfect job.

Thanks all for your advise.......much appreciated.

Good luck with it! Post up the pics when she's all done

skyskie · 08-05-2008, 08:33 PM

Did they quote how much it'd cost?

Chris.G · 08-06-2008, 02:36 AM

Would love to hear some feedback about them once they have done the install.

apparently BMW Sydney sends all their cars to PanelOne.

i've used them a few times when they were small and experienced very very very long delays.

they're pretty quick now though.

have used scientific on 3 occassions. twice for my jeep and once for my wrx.

all cars had to go back for re-work and they're a smug bunch though the owner (can't remember his name) seems ok.

he said he let david butler go after a few issues.

there is a guy named robert which is a bit of a smart @rse.

Scientific are so-so.

I've used Stows on my e36 many years back and they are appalling. car had rippled paint and overspray. i believe they're not bmw approved either.
