    These guys fixed my wifes blue Corolla (2010). Had back tailgate and bumper replaced. Came recommended by the MX5 and Rexy Forums.
    Car was cleaned and vacuumed when I picked it up. Few weeks later noticed the paint on tailgate was a bit darker than rest of the car under certain light conditions.
    After speaking to Cton, rang up and spoke to the boss and he was quite shocked that it wasn’t picked up beforehand.
    Told me to bring back the car and they would offer a hire car for the inconvenience. Few days and it was good as gold.

    Great work. My car came out better than even before it had hail damage on it. No hassle with insurance claims. Did all that for me.

    Used these guys to fix some minor paint damage to the front LHS of my bumper. Was a 10cm scratch down to the black poly. Booked them only a few days in advance. The guy rocked up in his van on time with all the kit in it (including paint tinting gear). He worked on my car while it was in the garage. Took him about 2 hours to rub the scratch back, prep and mask off the area, colour-match the paint (he didn't trust the tint that was in his system, so took some extra time to tweak it), spray, clear coat, and then quick dry with IR heat lamps. The finish was brilliant. Would never know there was a scratch there. Colour match was spot on and clear coat was impeccably smooth. All in all the cost was $200. Very pleased with the work done.

    Word of warning though. If you do get this done (with any of these mobile services), throw some sheets over the car to avoid any overspray getting on other panels. I did notice some overspray on the bonnet and roof in particular, which left the paint surface rough. Some Meguiars Ultimate Compound and a little elbow grease took it right off though. Will be throwing sheets over the car though if I get them back in the future

    Cheers Justin but this one was Mech81's idea! I think both threads should prove quite useful, especially for new owners or those who want mods installed.
    Sure no worries, feel free to add details directly into the first thread if you like, if not just post them below and I'll pretty them up and insert to first post when I find time.

    Thanks Doug, I'll edit the details in when I find some time. Might look into getting the chips done of mine prior to sale or something

    I have to add AFM in Osborne Park. They do all the work for Jason Mazda and have done work on my car (twice). Hail damage repair was fantastic. Phil Foster doesn't take on too much work so you will need to tell him that you have been referred by me.

    Not really a panel beater or repairer but good for Mazda parts and spares. I just picked my rear bumper from this place at a competitive price. They were the only Mazda wrecker/parts store that had it at the time so worth looking into if you're struggling to find parts especially for our MPS's.

    I just had a good experience with the service team at Mazda Maitland, they said 11am pick up got a text at 11:05 to say it was done. Done wheel balance, alignment, tread depth brake/suspension test and graph read out, new wiper blades, quoted me up for next service on the invoice all for $310. Great staff friendly, attended me straight away no fussing about... very happy
