Crash Repairs Melbourne
We collect. We repair. You keep driving.
The old way: ring around panel shops, leave work early for quotes, drop the car off and find a way home. Our way: send us a few photos or give us a call — we come to you, handle everything and keep you on the road. Your day carries on as normal. Not your fault? The other driver’s insurer pays. At fault? Courtesy cars too.
- Pickup or drop-off
- No excess when not at fault
- On the road at all times
Step 1
We collect your car
From your driveway or workplace — or drop it off.
On the road at all times
A car while yours is fixed
- Not at fault? Replacement car, no cost to you.
- At fault? Courtesy car too.

How it works
The repair comes to you
Four steps and one point of contact. We collect your car — or you drop it off if that suits you better.
Send us photos or give us a call
Whatever’s easier — upload a few photos online or just call us. Two minutes.
We check your options
Not at fault, insurance or private — we explain it plainly before you sign anything.
Pickup or drop-off
We collect from your home or workplace, or you drop it off — whatever suits. And a replacement car to keep you moving.
Repaired & returned
A partner workshop fixes it, you get text updates, and we bring it back.
Not your fault?
The other driver’s insurer pays. Not you.
When someone else caused the accident and they’re insured, their insurer is responsible for your repairs and a comparable replacement car. No excess. No claim on your own policy. We handle it all.
No excess
Nothing comes off your own policy.
Replacement car
Comparable car, supplied by National Hire Car.
Pickup or drop-off
We collect and return it, or you drop it off — your call.
We deal with them
The at-fault insurer, the paperwork, the follow-ups.
Not sure where you stand?

Am I covered?
Was another vehicle involved?
