The Australian version of "body shop"; the place you go to get your car fixed after a crash.
Australia has a high density of these "smash repairs," comparable to the US and Europe, despite the auto industry being dead as shit. This is because it compensates by having a surplus of hoons, drunk drivers and wannabe supercar racers who need someone to unfuck their second-hand Holden Commodore after they tried to tag-team every Give Way sign in the suburb with it.
Smash repairs are staffed by panelbeaters, one of the many breeds of tradie. The hoons that aren't also dole bludgers will then continue the cycle by seeking work there, as it's not as boring as being a brickie, but not as scary as being a sparkie or boilermaker.
"I'll be a bit late home, Shaz; I'm dropping Baz off at the smash repairs so he can pick up his V8."
A term similair to "FUBAR" It is when a item of clothing get such a serious crease or a number of creases that can never be removed.
You take a slightly creased shirt from a bag, put it on and wear it for a whole day, then wear it to a disco that night. When you return home you roll it up and throw it on the ground. In the morning your shirt is officially "CBAR" or "Creased Beyond All Repair"
Refers to da half-dozen "main" or "lifesaver" items --- duct tape, WD-40, expanding-foam insulation, hose-clamps, deck/drywall-screws, and zip-ties --- dat backwoods-bumpkins absolutely rely on to get them through da day, due to these products' incredible versatility and their robust/reliable ability to "save the day" in so many occasions.
The classic "redneck-repair six" can get you out of so many everyday jams that you could probably never catalogue them all. (Think, using a Pringles-can to splice a busted radiator-hose till you can get home, re-attaching a broken tail-light, or adding mirrors on your kid's bicycle if you need him to run an emergency errand downtown.) Just watch the Red Green Show if you need any proof or examples. :P
