25.01.2022 We would like to apologise for being so quiet on our social media this year. We have been busy in the shop with a couple big projects and among our stable we have Craigs and Kristies, 1FATHR thats come in for a massive overhaul that will be attending Meguiars MotorEx in the Superstars Hall, later on in the year. This little HR Ute will be leaving our shop a little different, sporting new trim, new colour scheme and a revamped driveline. Stay tuned for this one!

25.01.2022 Update on 1FATHR, We have got the car all stripped down, all the gaps fixed and set, fixed all the old ripples and imperfections and sealed in ALL U NEED primer. Exciting times getting closer to the new colour scheme! #SUMMERNATS #showcar #melomotive #streetmachine #holden #blown202 #202 #holden #tubbed #alluneed #custom #americanlegendwheels

23.01.2022 Another one bites the dust. This BNR32 now looks the part. Whoever doesnt like these things needs their head checked.

23.01.2022 Like and share away guys! Any towing needs give Peter a call. Full insurance. Victoria wide. Hes the man!

23.01.2022 Sorry for not posting in ages! In these crazy times were just doing everything we can to get work in and out as safely as possible. Weve been busy painting stripes onto HQs, kicking out Autronics and wiring in Haltechs, putting together a few engines, screwing tear ends together to even playing with Delphi injectors. Its never a dull moment.. we just find it hard to share it sometimes.

22.01.2022 Another one weve been restoring quietly is this 1975 Apollo blue XB Falcon GS. Paired with white trim its a killer 1 of 1 car that will be cruising this Summer. Weve been busy in the shop rebuilding all her driveline, suspension, brakes and Bens given it a fresh lick of paint and its looking shmick. Seats are waiting to go in this week, trimmed back up like new and fingers crossed we get to hear her breathe next week. Enjoy!

20.01.2022 Had your vehicle repaired and not 100% confident in the repairs? Then read this! Something we have been seeing a lot more of lately, but this one takes the cake! This 2019 Hilux had gone back and forth to previous repairer for numerous complaints. The owner eventually came to us to rectify all his concerns. Needless to say we were shocked with what we found when we started to pull it down and cut it up.... Terrible workmanship, not following manufacturers repair methods, poor, unsafe and incomplete repairs, damaged panels, support panels cut and covered up, glued panels, half finished welds, no rust protection on spot welded panels, body filler used to manipulate body lines and gaps and poor colour matching. We replaced the 2 left hand doors, inner and outer sill panel, centre pillar, corner cab pillar (inner and outer), roof skin and rear wall. Half of these panels replaced due to the poor workmanship from previous repairer. If your not convinced by the repairs on your vehicle, give us a call to arrange a free inspection on 03 8597 5739 or visit us at 52 newlands rd, reservoir.

06.01.2022 A customer brought in his genuine XE ESP for restoration. This car had been "restored" not that long ago. This is great example of why the cheaper quotes arent always the best option. Lots of hidden suprises under the paint! Some photos of the rust repairs we have completed so far, will be a great example once restored correctly!

04.01.2022 Heres a good reason why its important to have choice of repairer on your insurance policy. A brand new BMW M2 Competition was repaired by one of RACV partner repairers, this car came to us check it over as the customer wasnt happy with the repairs. Flooded with paint defects (the yellow tape), panels not lined up, damaged parts from r&r, terrible finish on paint, colour match and seam sealer in the boot from where they replaced the quarter panel. We resprayed the whole car..., replaced all damaged panels and re aligned all panels to as new. If your not convinced by the repairs on your car, call us on 8597 5739 or pop in for a free inspection!
