About

Stow Smash Repairs has operated on Hotham Parade, Artarmon since 1965. For sixty years, the workshop has run independently, never aligned with any insurer or franchise. The trade has changed around us. Steel became aluminium, paint codes became spectrophotometers, carburettors became radar. The standard hasn’t moved.

The Story

Stow Smash Repairs opened its doors on Hotham Parade, Artarmon in 1965. Artarmon has long been a hub for automotive repair, and our workshop has remained a fixture here for sixty years. We have stayed because the North Shore is a place where reputation compounds.

What We Stand By

We fix cars properly. That has been the whole mission since 1965. Three values sit under it.

Craftsmanship.
We pull your vehicle back to true factory dimensions. No shortcuts, no compromise repair work.
Integrity.
Direct answers, honest assessments and clear communication. No hidden pricing, no surprises on the final bill.
Excellence.
Every panel is checked by hand before it leaves the bay. The finish matches the factory paint line, or it goes back.

What Independent Ownership Means Here

It means you're dealing directly with the team responsible for your repair. No franchise playbook and no insurer on the ownership papers. The people assessing your vehicle work closely with the technicians repairing it, ensuring clear communication and complete accountability from start to finish. We don't hide behind a brand — we stand behind our work.
