We also suggest that you take note of your exact location at the time of the accident, noting any nearby landmarks, side street names, etc.
If you’re still at the scene of the accident, and your vehicle isn’t safe to drive, then you need to contact the Police Tow Line on 08 8231 5555 to arrange a tow truck to bring your vehicle to our workshop.

General FAQ’s
You do not need to make an appointment for us to look at your car initially. Our assessment only takes 5-10 minutes and there is always someone available during our trading hours who can assess your damage and take the required photos.
Once we have completed the quote on your vehicle we will be able to give you an estimation of how long it will take to complete repairs. In some instances, we may require your vehicle for longer than anticipated if we discover additional damage once the car is disassembled, of have difficulties obtaining parts.
In most cases, your excess will be paid to Alpine Crash Repairs when you collect your vehicle at the completion of repairs. Alpine Crash Repairs accepts all EFTPOS and credit cards, except American Express and Diner’s Club, and we do not accept personal cheques. Excess payment must be made in full prior to the vehicle being released.
