Claiming on insurance?
We work with all insurers. Tell us who you’re with when you call or fill in the form, and we look after the claim side and keep you posted while the car is with us, so you’re not left chasing anyone.
Not at fault? We can arrange a replacement car while yours is being repaired. Car can’t be driven? We can arrange the tow.
Paying for it yourself is fine too. We look at the damage, give you a clear quote, and you decide before any work starts. Every repair carries our lifetime warranty for as long as you own the car.

“I had a great experience with Karl and his team after my BMW 3 Series was rear-ended and needed repairs through insurance. Karl did an amazing job, and the car was returned to me in immaculate condition. He and his team were very thorough throughout the entire repair process and kept me up to date on any issues or concerns they identified along the way.”
“The team at Hornsby Smash were fast and efficient. I think what stood out the most was Karl’s ability to explain the procedure as clear as possible and was always there for us when we had a bunch of concerns and questions. Will be sure to nominate them as our repairer if we have any incidents again!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Karl and the team. From the moment I dropped my car off, they made the entire insurance repair process easy and stress-free. They kept me informed every step of the way and were always happy to answer any questions.”
“Amazing work, the team was very transparent with talking me through the procedure and time needed to complete the work”
