Workmanship warranty
Every repair is verified before handover and warranted afterwards. Quality control is a step in the job, not a slogan.
About us
The same workshop, the same crew, for twenty-five years.
Tempe Collision Care is a locally owned smash repair and detailing workshop on Carrington Road, Marrickville. Body repairs, detailing and auto electrical are all done in-house by licensed technicians who have been working on Inner West cars for a very long time.
The story
The workshop was built on a plain idea: Inner West drivers deserve expert work from people they can actually talk to. That is still how it runs. Every job starts with a free assessment, every quote is itemised before a spanner is picked up, and the person who quotes your car is the person who repairs it.
Over twenty-five years that has meant everything from a trolley dent on a hatchback to a full structural rebuild after a highway collision, and a steady list of small businesses whose vans and utes are kept on the road here. The work changes. The standard does not.
What you get
Six things that do not change, job to job
These are not promises invented for a website. They are the things drivers tell us brought them back.
Factory paint matching
Colour matched to your vehicle's paint code, adjusted for age and fade, and blended into the surrounding panels.
All insurers accepted
Claims processed with every major Australian insurer. Quotes formatted to their requirements and paperwork handled here.
Three trades under one roof
Panel, paint and auto electrical in one building, so a car that needs all three is one booking and one conversation.
Inner West local
Owned and run from Marrickville, serving Tempe, Sydenham, St Peters, Newtown, Erskineville, Alexandria and around.
Pre-accident condition
The benchmark for every collision repair is the car you had before the accident, structurally and cosmetically.
Licensed and insured
No subcontractors. No call centre.
Every job is done by licensed technicians on our own floor, under our own insurance. Nothing is farmed out to a third party you never meet, and nothing is quoted by someone who will not be doing the work. When you ring, you get the workshop.
Who we look after
Private cars, and the vans that pay the bills
Private repairs and insurance claims sit alongside a steady list of small business work: trades utes, courier vans and small fleets that cannot afford to sit idle. Both get the same standard, and businesses get scheduling built around their week rather than ours.
- Private and insurance repairs for every make
- Small business fleets, scheduled around your downtime
- Pre-sale detailing that lifts what a car sells for
About us
Questions about the workshop
The name comes from the neighbourhood rather than the street address. Tempe, Marrickville, Sydenham and St Peters all run into each other, and the workshop has served that whole pocket since it opened. The address is B/6 Carrington Rd, Marrickville, a few minutes from Tempe itself.
No. Tempe Collision Care is independently owned and operated. Your enquiry reaches a technician on the floor rather than a call centre, the quote is written by someone who will work on the car, and the same crew sees the job through.
Licensed automotive technicians employed here, working across body repairs, refinishing, detailing and auto electrical. Nothing is subcontracted out.
Yes. European, Japanese, Korean and American makes are all routine, including prestige and modified vehicles. For anything unusual, vintage or heavily modified, have a chat with us first so we can confirm parts and paint before you commit.
Yes, on every service. Body repairs and detailing are assessed at the workshop, and auto electrical usually needs a short diagnostic which is quoted upfront before it runs.
