Which way to come

From the middle of Oakleigh South (Centre Road): head west along Centre Road to Warrigal Road, turn south, then turn west onto South Road. Alex Ave is just off South Road. If you pass the ice skating rink on Centre Road, you’re on the right track.

From the Huntingdale station end (North Road): take North Road west to Warrigal Road, then south to South Road. Allow around 8 minutes outside peak.

From the southern side, near the Dingley Bypass: South Road now links straight through to Old Dandenong Road, so the southern edge of Oakleigh South has a direct run west along South Road to us.

Park on-site, out the front of our shop. Prefer not to drive? We can pick up your car on request within Melbourne.

Getting to know Oakleigh South’s roads

Oakleigh South is a largely residential suburb split between two councils, the City of Kingston and the City of Monash. Its borders are North Road to the north, the Dingley Bypass to the south, Warrigal Road to the west, and Huntingdale Road and Clarinda Road to the east.

Those border roads are where a lot of local crashes happen:

• Warrigal Road is a busy main road with heavy traffic and plenty of turning at the lights. Rear-end bumps are common.
• North Road carries traffic past Huntingdale station, with buses and commuters coming and going.
• The Dingley Bypass and South Road link. When Old Dandenong Road was joined to South Road, it made a through route east to west, and it carries plenty of traffic.
• Centre Road runs through the middle of the suburb, past local schools and the ice skating rink, Melbourne’s oldest, which opened in 1971.

School traffic around Oakleigh South Primary School, Huntingdale Primary School and South Oakleigh Secondary College also brings busy mornings and afternoons, with tight parking and low-speed scrapes.

Inside our Moorabbin shop

• LED quoting bay. We drive your car under a large ceiling of hexagon LED lights. The bright, even light shows up dents and scratches that are easy to miss outdoors, and we photograph the damage for your quote and your insurer.
• Customer lounge. Wait in comfort while we look over your car and talk you through the quote.
• Vehicle lifts. We lift your car to check underneath for hidden damage, like bent brackets and broken under-trays.
• Spray booth. Paint is done in a clean, closed spray booth, so the finish matches and lasts.
• Presentation bay. You collect your car in our bright white presentation bay, with its flower wall, and check the finish with us.

We’re open Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm. Walk-ins are welcome, but booking is recommended.
