Default Good Panel Beater for insurance claim

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if any one knows of a good panel beater in the Blackburn ( Victoria ) area? After much thought of what new car to buy, my Dad decided on a Territory Ghia. To say that it is his pride and joy is an understatement!! Today he went to visit an aunty of ours who lives on a farm, and when he got back to his car to go home he discovered that a few cows had decided to itch themselves all along the drivers side!! By the way, they had horns on them too. I haven't seen the car yet but the result is one sick looking territory from rear 1/4 to front guard. Any help in locating a good panel beater is much appreciated. Thanks Greg.

There is a guy in east doncaster on blackburn rd. The place is called syms. A mate of mine had his prelube sprayed there and they did an awsome job. Only problem is they charge an arm and a leg. But their work is of a top quality nature.

As you go down blackburn rd. towards templestowe, they are just passed king st. on the right.

yeah prelude. Sorry typing error. Been at work all day.

One of the chicks i work with rear ended someone. They fixed it and did a top job. When it comes to panel beating and spraying these guys are probably if not the best, one of the best in the area.

Never ask them to put on a body kit. For some reason they are hacks at it. But I have always heard good things bout this place when it comes to panel beating.
