Default Good Panel Beater Company Needed.

Hi all my 68 XT wagon broke down on the Logan Motorway heading South just before the Kingston road exit and before the bridge (there is no brake down lane) on Thursday Night 7.00/ 7.30p.m as I was sitting in my car with the headlights on I thought to myself "Hmm if I get hit here I am going to die" So I began to exit the vehicle via the passenger side and I reached over and turned the ignition and drivers side indicator on as it has no hazard lights.
Then it happened a car clipped the back end of the wagon and sent debris flying everywhere they didn't stop and I didn't want to look at the damage on my vehicle. It's not to bad the rear bars bent indicator is broken and panel damage.
Hence I need a good Panel Beater that does insurance work as I am putting it through my insurance (Shannons) who its insured with.
I live between Brisbane and the Gold coast and willing to travel any leads/help would be most appreciated thank you.

Well it's you're fault, shouldn't have had such evil thoughts.

No seriously sorry to hear, good luck with a repairer.

Try Logan Village Smash Repairs. Rob Haiken, the owner is an old style panel beater, prefers to repair current metal rather than replace.

Second Shipstones if your Insurance co will come to the party( ie choice of repairer). They will not win the work on price....
