The Bartels standard
Factory Specification, Down to the Structure.
A proper repair disappears. The work you are paying for is the part you cannot see from the street.
Insurance approved
Recognised by all major Australian insurers, with an I-CAR Gold Class certified team on every repair.
Genuine parts
Genuine and OEM-approved parts on every repair. We do not cut structural corners to save an hour.
Independently owned
No network targets or volume quotas. One workshop, accountable to you rather than a head office.
Our story
Named for the Street. Built for the City.
Bartels Street runs beside the Adelaide Central Market, named after Adolph Bartels, mayor of Adelaide in the 1870s. Our workshop stands on that street, and the Town Hall in our monogram honours the same heritage.
40+ years of 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.
