Hi,my wife's VX SS was rear ended in an accident this week & were looking for a Perth smash repairer to have it fixed by insurance. We had one look at it yesterday & he said it will be borderline but probably RAC will write it off.The car is her pride & joy so we'd prefer to have it fixed,can anyone recommend a commodore friendly licensed repairer?

Hi @DATO327 Welcome to the forums...

I can't help with someone in your area but if it has taken a solid hit it might not be the same after the repairs are done.
Sry don't want to sound negative but it might be worth looking at what the insurance is willing to pay. If it's a respectable figure, move on and get another good one (maybe lower k's than what you have now)
I have seen some immaculate ones going for as cheap as $8000 of late.

Universal panel and paint in Neerabup.

I’d buy the car back from a write off payout and repair it or body swap it.

There’s also a thread currently for a VZ that the RAC have approved a repair in Perth.

I dumped the RAC after my accident. They straight up said that they consider Holden Commodores as collectible and not their cup of tea anymore. They said try Shannon’s.

The repairer agreed. RAC are good in WA but Shannon’s are a close second. Especially considering RAC distance themselves from Commodores.

I had to partly strip the car myself and partly put it back together
