Frequently asked questions
How do I choose between panel beaters in Rockingham Beach?
Compare two or three. Ask for a written quote, whether they'll deal with your insurer, how long they'll need the car, and what warranty they give on the repair and the paint. A business that is owner verified on Mechanics Directory has confirmed it runs the listing.
How much do smash repairs cost in Rockingham Beach?
It depends on the damage, the parts that need replacing, paint matching, and any damage that only shows once panels come off. Many panel beaters quote after seeing the car or photos of it. If you're claiming on insurance, ask your insurer what you'll pay, such as your excess.
Do panel beaters need to be licensed?
Licensing depends on the work and the state. If your insurer is paying, ask the insurer how the repairer is chosen before work starts. In Western Australia, a vehicle repair business needs a repair business licence, and the work must be done or supervised by someone with a repairer's certificate for that class of work. There is an online licence search. Listings marked "Credentials listed" show a licence, accreditation or membership on the business's profile. We don't check it, so confirm it with whoever issued it.
Can I choose my own panel beater if I claim on insurance?
It depends on your policy. Some policies let you choose your repairer, and others use a repairer the insurer chooses. Read your policy or ask your insurer before you book.
What does "serves this area" mean?
Some businesses are based in a nearby suburb but cover this area, including mobile mechanics and towing services that come to you. On suburb pages we list businesses based in the suburb first, then the ones that say they serve it.
How do free quotes work?
Tell us about the job once. We match your request with up to 3 panel beaters near you. A business on a paid plan here gets it with your name and contact details and can contact you directly. A business on the free plan sees the job and your suburb but not your details, so it can't contact you unless it upgrades. A business that hasn't claimed its listing sees your request only once it claims. After you send, we tell you which applies to each business. It's free and there's no obligation.
