Originally from Malaga, Spain, a young Jose Antonio Aguilera completed his training in panel beating at a state-of-the-art body shop and immigrated to Australia.
Jose settles in the Murarrie area of Brisbane, Australia. He marries and along with his young family of five, works tirelessly to support them by utilising his panel beating skills at a local East Brisbane panel shop.
Jose invests in opening a small panel shop in Murarrie, naming it J&D Quality Smash Repairs. With only himself and a painter operating from one shed, the whole family pitches in to help the business grow.
Jose's son, Juan, begins his apprenticeship in panel beating, learning the trade from his father.
Juan completes his apprenticeship starting his career as a fully qualified Panel Beater.
Due to poor health, Jose becomes semi-retired, and Juan and other family members take more responsibility in running the business.
An injury forces Juan to step away from the J&D Quality Smash Repairs to focus on recovery while working as an insurance assessor with a recognised insurance brand.
With Jose retiring due health reasons, Juan re-joins J&D Quality Smash Repairs, taking over the family business. The operation is still small, with a team of two working from a single shed. Juan injects his new acquired knowledge of insurance to make some improvements in the business and starts an exciting journey towards diversification of both services and technology.
J&D Quality Smash Repairs, with a growing team of five, begins offering a more diverse range of repair options, including paintless dent removal.
Juan's vision starts coming to life with the support of his growing family and team. As the business flourishes it is also time to get a new fresh look as J&D Quality Smash Repairs expands and welcomes the adjacent shed to accommodate the growing team of 13. Juan and Paola also welcome the future of J&D Quality Smash Repairs as their beautiful twins are born on the 9th of November 2020.
J&D Quality Smash Repairs adds a large detailing bay to their operations, now providing a full range of detail services, including ceramic coating.
The business continues to grow occupying the majority of shed 5, 167 Murarrie Road. The team expands to 17 members, with dedicated bays for paint, panel, and detailing.
J&D Quality Smash Repairs enhances the services available by introducing additional offerings, such as window tinting and leather repairs. With a strong focus this year on upskilling the team to support this diversification.
J&D Quality Smash Repairs continues to provide exceptional panel beating, painting, and detailing services, striving to exceed customer expectations and maintain their reputation for quality and reliability. The business enters an exciting new phase of rebranding that aligns to its vision and future goals. Something to watch out for!
A promising new era…
