Your Trusted
Accident
Repair Experts

When Michael Batkin and Andrew Damme founded this business over three decades ago, they did so with a simple vision: to combine cutting-edge automotive technology with the kind of honest, old-school workmanship the Riverina deserves. What started as a small local dream has evolved into one of Wagga Wagga’s premier smash repair facilities.

While the technology under the hood of your car has changed significantly since 1990, our core values haven’t budged. We still treat every vehicle that enters our workshop as a personal project, applying a meticulous eye for detail to ensure your car returns to the road in its safest, most pristine condition.

Batkin & Damme Smash Repairs has been proudly serving the Riverina for over 36 years. As a locally operated business in Wagga Wagga, we’ve built our reputation on quality workmanship, honest service and strong relationships with our customers and insurers.

Our workshop combines experience, modern equipment and ongoing training to ensure every vehicle is repaired to the highest standard. Whether it’s a small repair or major accident damage, we treat every job with the same level of care and attention to detail.

Elias Younes
"Very pleased with the experience of dealing with Bell Collision Repair Centre. Without knowing anything about them we were very nervous, but I must say, I have been pleasantly surprised with their professionalism from the time of them receiving my car, calls keeping me informed on the progress, and finally picking up the car once repaired. The workshop itself is very clean, the people I spoke to at the front of the shop were very informative and were able to tell us everything about the repairs carried out. The car was cleaned inside and out and I cannot fault it in any way. Thanks again, a very professional company and highly recommended.”
