How we handle insurance smash repairs in Frankston
We assess vehicle damage, discuss the proposed repair work and provide repair information for the insurer or claims representative when appropriate. Our workshop carries out agreed panel repairs and refinishing once the required repair arrangements and authority are in place.
- Accident damage assessment and repair planning.
- Panel beating, parts replacement and refinishing.
- Repair documentation and communication about the work.
- Progress updates and vehicle collection arrangements.
- A lifetime workmanship warranty on every repair we complete.
Repair approval, choice of repairer and insurance entitlements depend on your policy, insurer and circumstances. Please confirm these with your insurer; we do not claim to be an appointed repairer for every insurer.
What happens during the repair process?
- Contact the workshop. Tell us your vehicle make and model, what happened and whether you have lodged a claim. Photos can help us understand your enquiry.
- Arrange a damage assessment. We discuss the visible damage and whether your vehicle needs to be inspected at the workshop. Photographs may not reveal damage behind panels or trim.
- Confirm the repair arrangements. The scope, any required insurer authority and booking arrangements need to be understood before repairs proceed. Parts availability can affect scheduling.
- Repair and collection. Once authorised, we carry out the agreed work and refinishing. Following completion and checks, we arrange collection with you.
What information should you send?

Before booking an insurance repair
Can I choose Alfa Body Works as my repairer?
Ask your insurer whether your policy allows you to choose your repairer and whether any conditions apply. Let us know the insurer and claim details so we can discuss the assessment and repair arrangements for your vehicle.
Can I enquire before my claim is approved?
Yes. You can contact us to discuss the damage and arrange the next step while your claim is being considered. An enquiry or assessment does not mean the insurer has approved the claim or authorised repairs.
Is a replacement vehicle available?
Ask us about replacement vehicle options when you enquire. Availability, eligibility, hire costs and any recovery arrangements depend on your circumstances and the relevant agreement. A replacement vehicle is not automatically included with every repair.
When will the repair be completed?
The timeframe depends on the repair scope, parts availability, workshop scheduling and any required approvals. We discuss expected timing after assessment and communicate about the repair arrangements.
What if the accident was not my fault?
If another driver caused the accident, check our not-at-fault repairs page. For cases accepted by Alfa, the agreed repairs and replacement-car hire are no cost to you, confirmed in writing before you commit.
Can I pay privately instead of making an insurance claim?
Yes. We also accept private repair enquiries. Contact us for an assessment so we can discuss the damage, proposed work and price before you decide how to proceed.
