I'm up near hornsby, so i can get to asquinth no problems but I don't mind driving around, but does anybody have a recommendation for a good beater that I can trust to not rip me off? and if anybody is "in", should I be dropping any names ? Edit: the damage is pretty minor. Little bumps and scratches on the exterior...bonet doesn't sit right and the front might be pushed in a little.
Can't point you to a panelbeater but if the work is minor try a car detailing company - they don't have insurance jobs holding your job up and a good detailer can fix anything.
