Who we are
About Prestige Motor Work & Smash Repair
We are a six person workshop on Baldock St in Moorooka, and we have been here eight years. John Ruzgani owns the place and still works in it.
We do mechanical servicing and repairs on one side and smash and panel work on the other, which is unusual, and it is the reason a lot of our customers never need to go anywhere else.
Eight years ago John opened Prestige Motor Work & Smash Repair with a fairly simple idea. Tell people what is actually wrong with the car, quote it before touching it, and do the work properly the first time. That sounds obvious. Anyone who has been handed a surprise invoice knows it is not.
The team of six includes qualified technicians across mechanical and panel work. Small enough that everyone knows what is on every hoist. Big enough to turn jobs around when we said we would.

What makes this workshop different
Six things worth knowing
before you book.
01
Mechanical and smash under one roof
Most workshops do one or the other. If you have an accident and the car also needs a service, or the panel damage has knocked something mechanical out of alignment, it gets sorted in the same building by people who talk to each other.
02
We publish prices
Oil and filter from $149. Full service from $330. Almost nobody in this trade puts numbers on a website, and we think that says something about the trade rather than about pricing.
03
Six people, not a production line
Small enough that John knows what is on every hoist. Big enough to get your car back to you when we said we would.
04
Everything that rolls in
All makes and models. European, diesel, 4WD, fleet, commercial, hybrids and electric vehicles. We have not built the business around one badge.
05
Eight years at the same address
Same address, same owner, same phone number. In this trade that matters more than it should.
06
Open Saturdays until 3pm
You do not have to burn a day of leave to get your car looked at. There is an after-hours key drop if even that does not suit.
Our process
How we work
Four things that are true for every job that comes through the workshop, without exception.
You get told first
Before any job starts you get a price and an explanation. If we open something up and find more, we stop and call you. No exceptions.
You get the truth about urgency
Not everything needs doing today. If a set of brake pads has another 10,000 km in them, we will tell you that rather than sell you a set now.
You get it in writing
Every service ends with a report you can read without a trade background, setting out what was done, what we found, and what is worth watching.
You get a warranty on parts
Everything we fit is covered by the supplier or manufacturer warranty that comes with it.
Insurance claims
We handle
the paperwork.
We work with all major Australian insurers on accident repairs. Something worth knowing: under most Australian policies you can choose your own repairer rather than accept the one your insurer recommends. We will tell you how to check your policy wording, and we deal with the assessor directly once the claim is open.

Six of us.
What kind of cars do you work on?
