dear Malcolm, we like to thank you for the fabulous work you and your team have done on our car.
especially, we like to express our appreciation of how you cooperated with us at a time when dealing with bureaucracy created additional stress.
Thank you for your calmness and professionalism with which you steered us through the process.
Smita is extremely happy that you not only saved her trusted old car but made it look like new. regards Ralf

Could not recommend any more! Malcom was an absolute gent and went above and beyond. Work was amazing and well worth the trip down from the overpriced shops up in the Blue Mountains! Thanks a million!

Approximate cost: $1500

FANTASTIC SERVICE!
These people actually care about your car.
I dropped in unannounced after I hit the gutter with my front guard detached. This kind man fixed it straight away for me without any hesitation. I can highly recommend GIA smash repairs for any car repair large or small.
Thank you very much for your help today

Malcolm came all the way to my place to do a quick inspection and gave me a quote which he honoured. Great workmanship and very easy to deal with! He also provided a loaner car which was super helpful as I had to run a few errands during the week.

He also does jobs for luxury cars like Mercedes-Benz and Maserati so you know your car is in good hands!

Gia repaired my Commodore SSV. Mal was very friendly, honest and a pleasure to deal with. When I got the car back it was like I had a new car!! Mal went the extra mile and returned it beautifully presented inside and out. I’d highly recommend Mal and his team at GIA.

Top quality job above and beyond my expectations, Malcolm was very easy to deal with and did the best body and paint job I have seen to date. He was able to fit us in at relatively short notice and impressed by the quality of his work. I strongly recommend this business.

Have my Car Front Side panel broken (Dent) that causing passenger door opening got stuck. Posted my Issue in one Job Sites, and Malcolm of GIA Smash Repair immediately calls after a few minutes. After conversing what to do with my car, he took my car in his shop and after 3 days return it back in an excellent Condition. Looks brandnew again! Thank you Malcolm! Job Well done! Highly Recommended Shope.

It's unfortunate when you have a smack with your car, but the hardest part can be finding a good repairer. Well guys look no further. GIA and Malcolm are the best. Wherever you are in Sydney, this team will sort you, effortlessly, efficiently, with first quality results at the best rates! And this is understating it. Malcolm is the superhero of smash repairs in my book. You will know talking to him that he knows what he's doing and he cares! He actually came to Bondi Beach to pick up the damaged car, fixed it in a few days and returned it with a good natured smile. Unbeatable. The experience with Malcolm almost made the crumple worthwhile. Thank you thank you.

I have had many cars repaired over the years through a variety of panel beaters but Malcolm from GIA Smash Repairs is a cut above the rest. The repairs are always completed without delay to an excellent standard. I have been to Malcolm several times now and am always impressed with his honesty, quality of his work and competitive pricing. He goes out of his way to look after his customer.

Malcolm was very accommodating and made life so easy for me after I was crashed into. He handled everything with the insurance company and his boys did a first class job. Thanks mate!

Needed to get the front of my car repaired/new bumper etc. Malcolm/GIA was recommended to me by my mechanic. I am glad he did. The work done was excellent; the car looks as new, faultless. Malcolm kept me up to speed on the progress, didn't have to ask-it was all good. Nice work, great job!

Malcolm and his crew fixed both our cars and he explained how long it was going to take and the parts needed and they do a fantastic job in restoring the car to showroom quality. Very happy with the outcome on both cars

5 stars goes out for Malcolm and his team for their excellent work ethics. GIA gives its customers 100% always with great customer service, communication, help and understanding. I was satisfied with the overall job making the car look brand new within a good time frame and a reasonable price. Thank you so much, would highly recommend :)

Malcolm went above and beyond fixing the problem area of my car. It looked spanking new inside and out when I picked it up and I couldn't find a better price. It feels good when you've found someone that is truly honest and loves their work. To be blunt I'm kind of used to getting ripped off on a regular basis in terms of car matters, so it was a delightful shock to be looked after like I was. You won't find better than this guy and I'm very pleased to recommend him to my friends and family.

I took my BMW to GIA after a few quotes as it looks more accurate for the actual damage. Very happy to recommend as the outcome is fantastic, no external signs of any repair done, paint job was perfect! Thanks again for such a great job.

Really happy with my experience with Gia Smash Repairs. They did a fantastic job repairing scratches on the bumper bar and were friendly. I'll definitely recommend them to people in the future.

After picking up my car I had previously written a Five Star review I would like to subtract. Malcolm (the owner) is very friendly, offers reduced prices and drove me home after I dropped my car off. He also repaired it in the time he said he would. 6 months later I can see it was a paint over job. The paint has buckled along the edge of my bumper and I can see paint drips and the raw edge from the bumper to the body of the car. Im assuming the bumper was painted over while still fixed to the car. When I picked up my car they had freshly washed it and to be honest I didn't inspect it too much as Malcolm seemed very genuine - my naivety. If anything is indicative of quality it is time and the wearing of the repair. I went back to show him and he was not apologetic (from his friendly personality I thought he would be!) or at all surprised by the bad workmanship. He did offer to fix it again though. I didn't take him up on the offer and will not be returning. Don't be fooled by the reviews.

GIA Smash Repairs 24 Jul 2015

as I told you I would fix it again at no cost the vehicle has been repair by another repairer and the rear bar has been taken of this is why the paint has cracked but some people you just cant explain to them all my reviews are genuine and your right time dose tell and since nobody else has put a bad review up regarding workmanship I guess you think everybody has to be perfect im sorry if your not happy but it can be fixed and you didn't say anything to me when you came back but its up to you the offer is still there

Hi, I called the repairers (that I used through insurance) and they did not remove the bumper bar. I'm not sure where you are assuming this information as the accident was on the driver door and nowhere near the bumper. The bad workmanship is not the fault of my insurance repairers and I feel its not right to insinuate that. I am not saying bad repairs happens all the time at GIA Smash Repairs but it did happen to me. This is the basis of a fair review. I can see paint drips, paint blistering and still see the dents. I appreciate your response as I have received more care, concern and "explanation" on this public forum than I did in person.

Our Toyota Corolla had extensive damage after a head on collision with a Kangaroo. Being located in Bathurst we obtained several quotes locally and further afield (Sydney). GIA Smash Repairs gave the best quote. Furthermore being able to give a rough appraisal from photos was particularly useful in this situation. We were very pleased with the level of service, communication was clear. Very pleased with the quality of the repair. Highly recommended.
