Bugger - Panelbeater Needed

New member
Some dopey :swear: ran into the back of me on in Traffic on the Narrows Bridge last night.
Not too much damage but the rear bumper is pushed forward about an inch and the metal between the rear bumper and the tail lights is dented in and scratched.

I called a good panelbeater I know but he's shutting up shop and going to europe for 2 months on Friday.

So i was wondering if anyone knows of a good panelbeater/spraypainter they could recommend in Perth...
 
Anyone heard anything about J & M Caporale Auto Body Repairs in Osborne Park?
"Specialising in Audi repairs" according to their Yellowpages ad.. and a bit closer to home.
 
Man - thats really bad luck. I hope you told him what a rare and classy piece of gear he had damaged.
I have previously heard that West Perth Panel & Paint in Cleaver Street are very good - but have no direct experience myself. They are at bottom end of Cleaver St between Newcastle St and Freeway.
Hope the repair works out OK.

they've worked on my a3 twice now. did a pretty good job both times and are nice people.
 
J&M Caporale does all of Audi Centre's cars - so I sent my B5 there after a minor altercation and they fixed it really nicely.
 
I took it to Lombardi Bros in the end and very happy with the job they did, colour match was perfect. They were a recommended repairer for my insurance company too (QBE). I also got them to respray one corner of my front bumper which had a graze on it.

I did go talk to J&M Caporale but the guy was insistant on replacing the front bumper with a new one (as the bottom black part has been damaged and repaired and is now coming apart again) and I didnt really want to buy a new bumper out of my own money . .. ..(I reckon it wont be too hard to get it repaired pretty well).
 
Good to know Mouse, thanks for the update :)
I believe Quattro Motors have recommended Lombardi to people as well.
I'll certainly get a quote from them when (if) I get around to having my bumpers resprayed.
