Sunshine Coast Central
Russell came to fix a significant scratch on my Dmax, which was done by someone at a Shopping Centre. By the time he had finished , you could not tell anything had happened. He did an absolutely awesome job. I was quoted by a Panel Beater $700 and they wanted the car for 2 days, and Russell did it for $450, and finished in 3hrs. I can highly recommend Russell from Touch Up Guys, he was on time, and great communication. I am very happy, and will definitely use them again, if I am unfortunate to be hit again.

What to know before booking mobile car repair in Sunshine Coast Central
Touch Up Guys has repaired cosmetic car damage since 1991, and Gary Drinnan services Sunshine Coast Central directly. Getting started takes about two minutes — request a quote with a few photos of the damage and your Sunshine Coast Central suburb, and Gary confirms whether a mobile repair is suitable and what it will cost, with no obligation.
This coverage area includes suburbs such as Alexandra Headland, Buderim, Kawana Waters, Kenilworth, Marcoola, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba and Nambour, plus 60 more nearby suburbs. Include your exact suburb with your photos so Gary can confirm your vehicle sits inside the practical Sunshine Coast Central 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 Sunshine Coast Central
Yes — Touch Up Guys covers the central Sunshine Coast, with Gary Drinnan the local operator from Maroochydore and Mooloolaba up to Buderim and the Blackall Range hinterland. 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.
Central Sunshine Coast driving is beachside traffic through Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Alexandra Headland and the Kawana suburbs of Birtinya and Bokarina, the Sunshine Motorway and Nicklin Way commute, and Sunshine Plaza parking. It climbs the hinterland to Buderim, Nambour, Montville and Mapleton on the Blackall Range, so cars mix coastal and steep-hill driving daily.
Gary Drinnan handles this Touch Up Guys service area.
Beach and shopping-centre parking make corner bumper scuffs, door-edge chips and kerbed alloys the staple enquiries, while motorway running throws stone chips. Salt air off the ocean and strong Queensland sun are both hard on unprotected paint — a chip through to bare metal near Mooloolaba can start rust sooner, and sun-oxidised bonnets are a common buff-and-polish enquiry alongside the repair.

Beach and shopping-centre parking make corner bumper scuffs, door-edge chips and kerbed alloys the staple enquiries, while motorway running throws stone chips.

If you are around Alexandra Headland, Buderim, Kawana Waters, Kenilworth, Marcoola and Maroochydore, 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 Sunshine Coast Central?
Repair suitability in Sunshine Coast Central starts with the photos. Take photos in open shade if you can — strong Coast sun can hide or exaggerate marks — and note whether the car sits at home, work, resort parking or an apartment garage. Include your suburb, because coverage runs from the Maroochydore–Mooloolaba strip up into the Buderim and Blackall Range hinterland, and access and travel timing depend on where you are. 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 Sunshine Plaza, beach and resort parking are the everyday job. Cracked-through bumpers or broken mounts need a panel shop.
- Paint chips near the coast: Chips from the Sunshine Motorway and Nicklin Way suit early repair — sealing bare metal before ocean 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, sun-oxidised paint: Strong QLD sun fades unprotected bonnets and roofs — light marks often respond to a buff and polish; heavy clear-coat 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 Sunshine Coast Central.
