Our Services
What We Repair
Panel, paint and structural work in the one workshop — so your car is only ever in one set of hands, and there's only ever one person to ring.
Panel
Paint
Spray Painting
Computerised colour matching and high-quality water-based paints, finished in the booth for a factory-grade result.
Finish
Cut & Polish
Fresh paint cut back and machine polished, then blended into the surrounding panels so the repair disappears in daylight.
Chassis Straightening
Structural damage measured and pulled back to manufacturer specification — the step that makes a repair safe, not just tidy.
Dents & Paintless Repair
Car park dings, trolley knocks and hail. Where the paint is intact we massage the dent out from behind — no filler, no respray.
Insurance & Private Work
Making a claim or paying your own way, we quote both the same and walk you through exactly what your insurer needs. Our insurance repairs work covers brokers and private policyholders alike.
In The Booth

Not Sent Down The Road
Prep, paint and bake all happen at Machinery Drive. Keeping the whole job in one workshop means fewer hand-offs, tighter colour control and a straight answer when you ring to ask how it's going.
- Colour matched to your car — not just the paint code, but the panel in front of us.
- High-quality water-based paints — better for the workshop, better for the coast.
- Blended into surrounding panels so the repair disappears in daylight.
How It Works
Four Steps, No Surprises
Most people only do this once every few years. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you ring us.
Get a Quote
Bring the car in, or send through photos and your rego. We assess the damage and put a written quote in front of you.
Book It In
Claiming on insurance? We help lodge the paperwork. Once it is approved and parts are ordered, we lock in a date that suits you.
We Repair
Strip, straighten, panel, prep and paint. You get a realistic timeframe up front and a call if anything changes.
Pick It Up
Reassembled, polished and washed. We walk you around the repair before you drive away — if it isn't right, it doesn't leave.
Why Southern Autos
The Same Family,
The Same Family,
The Same Standard
We're an established smash repairs business on Machinery Drive — fourteen years in the one location, and a member of the Car Craft network. We look after Tweed Heads, Banora Point, Fingal Head and the surrounding area, plus drivers right across the Gold Coast to the Northern Rivers.
Being independent means the person who quotes your car is the person who stands behind the repair. No call centre, no script — the same team faces its customers at the shops on the weekend, so the standard doesn't slip.
- Licensed repairer — MVRL #49698.
- Environmentally minded — we reduce, reuse and recycle everything we possibly can.
- Straight talk — a clear written quote before a spanner is picked up.
