Caravan Accident & Collision Repairs Murray Bridge SA

Collision repair

More than panel beating

A caravan collision often damages more than the panel that took the hit. Our assessment checks the structure behind the scar, because a straight-looking van with a bent chassis is a dangerous van:

Panel repair and replacement, colour and profile matched
Chassis and drawbar inspection and straightening
Coupling, hitch and safety chain mounting checked after any front impact
Boot lids, bumpers, lights and mouldings replaced
Window and door frame realignment
Wheel alignment check after side or kerb impacts
Photographed assessment and itemised insurer quote

What to do after an accident

1. Document the scene

Photos of both vehicles, the damage and the location. Swap details as you would in any accident — the van claim runs the same way.

2. Get it assessed properly

Even a low-speed hit can tweak the drawbar or chassis. We check structure, not just panels, before anything is quoted.

3. Repaired to tow true

Structural repairs, panels, then a final alignment check — so the van tracks straight when it leaves, not just looks straight.

Good to know

Common questions

It's just a scrape — do I really need an assessment?

If it's purely cosmetic we'll tell you, and quote a simple fix. But impacts near corners, the drawbar or wheels deserve a structural look — that's free peace of mind.

Someone hit my parked van — whose insurance pays?

Typically theirs, if you have their details. We can prepare the quote for whichever insurer is handling it — the repair process is the same for us.

Can a bent drawbar or chassis be repaired?

Often yes, with proper measurement and straightening — and we'll tell you honestly if replacement is the safer call.

Will the repair be visible?

Our aim is an invisible repair: matched panels, aligned mouldings and consistent finish. Older vans with sun-faded cladding get an honest conversation about the closest achievable match.
