What we do
Every repair, from impact to invisible
One workshop carries your vehicle from first assessment to final handover — no outsourcing, no handballing.
The road back
Five steps from accident to handover
You send photos. We handle everything between.
Send photos
Photograph the damage from your phone and send it through our quote form. It takes about a minute.
Assessment & quote
We assess the damage, confirm scope with you, and provide a clear written quote — no surprises later.
Insurance, handled
Claiming? Nominate us as your repairer and we manage the insurer, the assessor and the paperwork.
Repaired to protocol
Structure, panel and paint restored to manufacturer specification by trade-qualified craftsmen.
Returned, guaranteed
Detailed, inspected under workshop light, and handed back with our written workmanship guarantee.
The Bartels standard
Restored to factory specification. Not made to look fine.
A proper repair disappears. Structural integrity is invisible from the street — and that invisible work is the entire point.
Insurance approved
Recognised by all major Australian insurers, with your legal right to choose your repairer protected.
Genuine parts
Genuine and OEM-approved parts on every repair. Structural shortcuts never leave this workshop.
Independently owned
No network targets, no volume quotas. One workshop, accountable to you — not to a head office.
Our story
Named for the road. Built for the city.
Bartels Road runs along Adelaide’s East End, named after Adolph Bartels, mayor of Adelaide in the 1870s. The Town Hall in our monogram honours that heritage — a workshop named for the road, in the city it serves.
40+ yearsof workshop craft, independently owned from the first day, and still the city’s only dedicated repair centre.
Word travels
What owners say
You genuinely cannot tell the car was ever hit. They handled the insurer completely — I dropped it off and picked it up finished.
The only shop in the city I would let touch this car. Paint match on a tri-coat white is no small thing, and it is flawless.
Clear quote, honest timeline, and the car came back detailed like new. This is how every repairer should operate.
Representative client outcomes — Google reviews launching with the new brand.
