Quality repairs on time.

CDARC

about us.

Carrum Downs Accident Repair Centre (CDARC) is the result of a culmination of over 30 years experience gained by its proprietor, Craig Gipp.

Craig commenced a panel beating apprenticeship in the early 80’s, followed by a three year spell in the Australian Army. After establishing his own panel shop and operating it for a number of years, he made a change and took on a role as a vehicle assessor for All States Auto (AAMI). Most recently, he has been operating a successful business in expert automotive colour matching and spray painting. This vast array of know-how gained in the accident repair industry has enabled Craig to understand all the various aspects of the trade and has equipped him with the necessary tools to confidently deliver a superior service to our customers.
