Michael Boyd
Hastings
Can't recommend Craig from Touch Up Guys Hastings highly enough! He went above and beyond to fix some paintwork on my car with excellent prices (was quoted some absurd amounts by large chain repair places) and carries out high quality work. Such a lovely guy and would use his services again.

What to know before booking mobile car repair in Hastings
Touch Up Guys has repaired cosmetic car damage since 1991, and Michael Boyd services Hastings directly. Getting started takes about two minutes — request a quote with a few photos of the damage and your Hastings suburb, and Michael confirms whether a mobile repair is suitable and what it will cost, with no obligation.
This coverage area includes suburbs such as Hastings, Balnarring, Bittern, Blairgowrie, Crib Point, Dromana, Flinders and Flinders Naval Depot, plus 33 more nearby suburbs. Include your exact suburb with your photos so Michael can confirm your vehicle sits inside the practical Hastings service area.
- Send one close-up photo and one wider photo showing the whole panel, bumper or wheel.
- Include your suburb, vehicle make/model and where the car can be accessed.
- Mention if the damage catches your fingernail, shows primer/plastic, or is spread across more than one panel.
Usually suitable for photo assessment
- Localised bumper scuffs, scrapes and car-park marks.
- Paint chips, clear-coat scratches and small cosmetic paint damage.
- Alloy wheel gutter rash where the wheel is not bent or cracked.
- Dull paint, light marks and finish issues that may respond to buff and polish work.
Usually needs a different repair path
- Rust, structural damage, sharp panel distortion or major collision damage.
- Broken bumper mounts, split plastic or damage that cannot be safely prepared on site.
- Large failed clear coat, peeling paint, full resprays or colour-change work.
- Any repair where access, weather, ventilation or workspace makes mobile work unsuitable.
Mobile car repair in Hastings
Yes — Touch Up Guys covers Hastings and the Western Port side of the Mornington Peninsula, with Michael Boyd the local operator from Hastings and Somerville down to Flinders, Rye and Sorrento. Bumper scuffs, paint chips and scratches are repaired at your home or work in as little as 3–4 hours, colour-matched on-site and backed by a 5-year warranty. Bumper scuffs typically cost $350–$500 (indicative — quoted from your photos), usually less than an insurance excess.
This territory runs the Western Port shoreline from Hastings, Bittern and Crib Point around to Somers and Balnarring Beach, down the Frankston–Flinders Road to Flinders and Shoreham, and across the peninsula to the back-beach towns — Rye, Rosebud, Sorrento and Portsea. Peninsula Link carries the commute, and HMAS Cerberus and the wineries around Red Hill add their own local traffic.
Michael Boyd handles this Touch Up Guys service area.
Village-strip and beach parking make corner bumper scuffs, kerbed alloys and clear-coat scratches, while Peninsula Link and coastal-road running throws stone chips. Salt air off Western Port and the back beaches is hard on unprotected paint — a chip through to bare metal near Somers or Flinders can start rust sooner than the same mark inland at Tyabb — so early repair genuinely pays here.

Village-strip and beach parking make corner bumper scuffs, kerbed alloys and clear-coat scratches, while Peninsula Link and coastal-road running throws stone chips. Salt air off Western Port and the back beaches is hard on unprotected paint — a chip through to bare metal near Somers or Flinders can start rust sooner than the same mark inland at Tyabb — so early repair genuinely pays here.
If you are around Hastings, Balnarring, Bittern, Blairgowrie, Crib Point and Dromana, the quote process checks more than the suburb name. The operator also needs to see the damage type, vehicle colour, access around the car, weather conditions and whether a mobile cosmetic repair is the right fit.
Why Touch Up Guys
Why choose mobile car repair in Hastings?
Repair suitability in Hastings starts with the photos. Coastal grime can disguise paint edges, so clean the damaged area lightly before photographing it and include a wider shot of the panel. If the car is at a holiday property, a unit complex or a steep or sloped driveway, tell Michael — mobile repair needs stable, level working space. Include your suburb so coverage from Hastings around to the back beaches can be confirmed. Mobile cosmetic repair is designed for localised damage where the panel, bumper or wheel is not structurally compromised. That is why the local operator checks photos before confirming a booking.
- Bumper scuffs and scrapes: Corner scuffs from village strips, beach car parks and tight driveways are the everyday job. Cracked-through bumpers or broken mounts need a panel shop.
- Paint chips near the coast: Chips from Peninsula Link and coastal roads suit early repair — sealing bare metal before Western Port salt air starts corrosion.
- Alloy wheel rash: Kerb rash on wheel faces and lips can usually be refinished; bent or cracked rims are not cosmetic mobile repairs.
- Dull, salt-affected paint: Coastal exposure hazes clear coat over time — light marks often improve with a buff and polish; heavy failure is a respray discussion.
Send one close-up photo, one wider photo of the panel or bumper, your suburb and vehicle details. That gives the operator enough real information to confirm whether a mobile repair is practical for Hastings.
