Hi can anyone recommend a VW workshop that can paint, do rust repairs, and install a TMI interior kit in Sydney?

Is there such a place or am i asking for too much?

you can try the panel shop next door to Vintage in Campsie at least they can ask someone who knows VWs if there doing it right they have done quite a few bugs n busses there over the years

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Anyone else have any other recommednations.

Monster Garage couldnt fit me in and i havent heard from Damo 🙁

He probably has better cars to work on.

Im thinking of shipping the car to either Melbourne or Queensland where my car will get the TLC she needs.

I cant believe i cant find anyone else in Sydney.

Someone has mentioned to me a workshop in Liverpool and the guy used to work for Boris?

I just had some work (rust/paint) on my 1974 beetle done by Swavley Smash Repairs (9750 8421 ask for Michael). They are on Canterbury Rd just up from Vintage. Good job/fair price

I wouldnt say i was stuffed around because Damo told me he's flat chat from the start.

Its just that my car needs to join a long queue but im really happy that Monster Garage is doing so well👍

Not in NSW obviously, but VEELAND in Wonthaggi specialises in body & paint & interior/trim etc. work just for VW's (also provide mechanical service). They get some interstate work & are "VW people". 03 5672 3995. Those in Melb. seem quite pleased with their work, as far as I have heard. There may be others, but many Melb-metro. garages are all so busy with mechanical repairs that the body-work doesn't happen as fast! There is another specialist, "Bus 'N Bug" in Highett?, but they may only do trimming work? (Don't know if they do paint & rust repairs...?)

Costa, have you thought about Dasrestohaus ? If you were going to the trouble of shipping the car interstate, I would give Alan some consideration. We have all seen his impeccable work.
