Accident Repairs for Clyde

Near-new car, first crash, not your fault.

Plenty of cars in Clyde and Clyde North's new estates are only a year or two old, and the first dent in a near-new car is a nasty surprise. If another driver caused it, the repair is usually claimed from their insurer, and you can generally choose who does the work.

Clyde and Clyde North cars come to SS Automotive's one workshop, at 5 Quinn Street, Dandenong, about 20 km by road from the middle of Clyde, or around 22 minutes in light traffic. For a near-new car damaged by another driver, the repair is usually claimed from that driver's insurer, and you can generally choose who does the work. Send us the claim number and we handle the insurer, the quote and the photos. If the car isn't safe for the trip, phone 03 8774 5785 and a tow is arranged 24/7, either up Clyde Road to the freeway or north on the South Gippsland Highway. A replacement car is organised once the claim paperwork is finalised and your car is with us. Panels are painted in our own spray booth. Your new-car warranty covers manufacturing faults, so the accident damage is dealt with as a separate claim through insurance.

• We deal with the insurer for you
• Replacement car as soon as the claim paperwork is finalised
• Colour-matched paint from our own spray booth
• Lifetime warranty on workmanship

Why Clyde Drivers Choose Us

Your new-car warranty and an independent workshop.

If you've moved into one of Clyde's new estates with a near-new car, you don't have to go back to the dealer for every service. ACCC guidance under the Australian Consumer Law is that an independent workshop can service a new car without affecting the manufacturer's warranty, as long as the service follows the manufacturer's specifications. We service to the maker's schedule and record each service in your logbook, so the paperwork is ready if a warranty question ever comes up.
