Vincent Bartolo was born and raised in Melbourne's western suburbs.
At the age of 15 he started his apprenticeship as a panel beater in a small resto/smash shop in Melbourne's CBD.
There he learnt about restorations and paying attention to the finest detail. A few years later Vince decided he needed
to learn more about hard and heavy smash repairs. He worked in several smash shops around Melbourne
gaining experience and knowledge about the trade he loved.
By the age of 20 Vince was working with prestige cars like Rolls Royce, Bentley, Austin Martin, Ferrari, Mercedes Benz ect.
At the age of 25 Vince bought his own smash shop in Melbourne's CBD. He ran his own business with pride and passion
and won several concourses along the way! Eventually outgrowing the shop in the CBD, Vince is now situated in Bacchus Marsh (Maddingley) where his passion lays in restorations, building hot rods, steel & fibre glass work, classic and prestige cars,
building chassis, roof chops, wheel tubs, classic smash work, custom painting, candy's and all types welcome.
Ring Vince Bartolo and make an appointment before you build your dream car.
No job too big or too small. No job is too hard. With over 26 years of experience
Vince has seen it all and his attention to detail is second to none.
