What we do

Four jobs we do every week.

Most cars through the door fall into one of these. Drive in, let us assess it, leave with a courtesy car if you need one.

Collision repair

From scuffed bumpers and parking-lot dings through to major structural straightening on a Car-O-Liner bench. Insurer and private work both welcome.

Paint & refinishing

Waterborne basecoat, colour-matched to the manufacturer code, baked in our downdraft booth. Panel blends so you can't spot the join.

We're pre-approved with Aioi Nissay Dowa and FMG, and we handle claims with most other insurers daily. Bring the claim number, we'll do the back-and-forth.

Restoration & one-offs

Older cars, project cars, repaints for a clean sale. Quote it honestly, walk you through what's worth doing and what isn't.

Adam's story

Started here at 17. Bought it in 2019.

Tony Fabish opened this shop in March 2000. Adam came on as a 17-year-old MITO apprentice in his second year of high school. He qualified, made foreman, did a stretch overseas, came home and bought Tony out in 2019.

February 2026 we moved into the new building on Riverhurst Drive, bigger booth, bigger floor, room for the five MITO apprentices we've got coming through right now.

Every car gets a qualified tradesman's hands on it. We train the next ones the way Tony trained Adam.
