Accident Repairs

We offer customers a full range of smash repair services for all makes and models of passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, taxis, motorcycles, buses, trucks, and small boats. Our services range from cleaning up small dents and scratches to larger panel beating work, as well as spray painting with a range of premium PPG solvent-based paints for the best possible coat.

As an independent repairer not aligned to any insurer, we will always act in the best interest of the customer, ensuring you get the best possible replacement parts and the best possible price without the compromise that comes with a workshop beholden to their insurers for work. We take pride in our service, providing honest and fair quotes to ensure customer satisfaction.

We can undertake insured and private work, and will do our best to meet your requirements. And if you need a car while yours is being repaired, we can source out a hire car without any burden of costs to you if the accident is not your fault*.

Car Servicing

The warranty that comes with buying a new car protects the new owner from certain unexpected expenses early in the vehicle's life. To maintain this warranty and to catch developing faults before they become major problems, it's necessary to have your vehicle undergo regular logbook servicing. Instead of taking your vehicle to the dealership, bring your vehicle into a JP Auto Group workshop for the same service, including the maintaining of your warranty, all at a fraction of the cost.

We're able to conduct a complete vehicle servicing on all makes and models, from cars and utes to motorbikes, trucks and semi trailers. We also take special care with servicing for prestige and high-performance vehicles.

Roadworthy Certifications

To sell, transfer ownership, or re-register a vehicle for Victoria's roads, it has to be deemed roadworthy by a VicRoads-licensed vehicle tester, to ensure it meets Victoria's strict vehicle standards for road use.

All JP Auto Group workshops are able to conduct roadworthy inspections on a large range of vehicles, from passenger cars to light commercial utes and vans. We're also able to conduct roadworthy inspections on all campervans, prime movers, light, medium and heavy rigid trucks. We're also especially accredited by the Australian Border Force to enter wharfs and conduct vehicle inspections on imported vehicles.

To find out more, or to book your vehicle in for an inspection, give us a call today. To find out more about what a roadworthy inspection entails, visit the VicRoads website.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

One of the biggest risks of buying a used car is not knowing its history; is it as tidy under the bonnet as it looks from the outside? You might make the purchase and only find out later that the engine or transmission is in a terrible state, adding thousands to your vehicle's actual cost.

To save yourself the hassle of buying used, arrange for the seller to bring the vehicle to JP Accident Repair Centre for a pre-purchase inspection. We'll examine the vehicle from top to bottom, and give you a full report of any mechanical or auto-electrical problems the vehicle might have before you decide to buy.

Auto-Electrical Services

JP Auto Group's team of technicians are able to inspect and repair or replace any component in your vehicle's electrics, whether it's a faulty or insufficient battery, damaged alternator or starter motor, or patchy wiring.

We're also able to install a variety of electronic devices into your vehicle, including speakers and sound systems, amplifiers, reversing sensors and cameras, CB radios, DVD players and screens, mobile phone car kits and other accessories to complete your driving experience.

Restorations

With over 35 years of auto repair experience, we can restore your vintage or classic car to its former glory, whether it's a rare make or model or simply a sentimental favourite. Our team is specially trained to handle work with both older vehicle metals and newer plastics and fibreglass, and can coordinate with a broad network of specialist parts stockists and vehicle experts to bring your vehicle back to a near showroom condition.

Our team can also conduct spray painting in our on-site paint shop, using the highest quality PPG paints to give your car a finish you can be proud of. We also perform more modern custom work on high performance vehicles and race cars, with the same care and precision we give all of our most discerning customers.

Vehicle Repair Assessments

If you want a fair price for your next repair, or if your vehicle's recently been repaired in a way that doesn't meet your satisfaction, JP Auto Group are professionals when it comes to a variety of damage assessments, whether it's post-accident assessments to estimate the cost of repairs or to establish a burden of proof in court, or post-repair assessments for matters of faulty workmanship or negligence.

JP Auto Group's trusted assessor can travel to and from your vehicle, and will provide a comprehensive, independent report on the condition of your vehicle, and if needed negotiate directly with the repairer to ensure you get your money's worth.
