Your G6 needs more than a panel beater
If you've crashed your XPeng G6 in Newcastle, the choice of repairer matters more than it would for a petrol car. The G6 is an 800-volt electric SUV packed with driver-assistance sensors, and many general smash repair shops aren't set up to work on it safely.
The closest WGBW workshop for Newcastle drivers is our Belmont workshop on Lake Macquarie, a short drive south of the city. This guide explains why the G6 needs specialist care, what to do in the first hour after a crash, and how the repair works from tow to handover.
What makes the G6 different to repair
- An 800-volt high-voltage system. The battery and high-voltage cables must be isolated and tested before anyone works on the body. Done wrong, it's a safety risk for the technician and can damage costly parts.
- A battery pack in the floor. The pack is the most expensive part of the car. Lifting, towing and structural repairs all have to protect it.
- A lot of sensors. The G6 has 12 cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors and five radar units for its XPILOT driver-assistance system (CarExpert). Many sit in the bumpers, mirrors and windscreen — the parts most often damaged in a crash.
- Driver-assistance safety features. Emergency braking, adaptive cruise, lane keeping and blind-spot detection all rely on those sensors being aimed exactly right after a repair.
- Metallic and pearl paint. The G6's colours change with the light, so a poor colour match is easy to spot.
A repairer who doesn't handle these properly can leave you with a car that looks fixed but doesn't brake, steer or warn you the way it should.
What to do straight after a crash in Newcastle
- Get safe. Pull over if you can, switch on your hazard lights and check everyone is okay. Call 000 if anyone is hurt.
- Check the dashboard. Look for high-voltage, battery or thermal warnings before you do anything else.
- Exchange details with the other driver: name, phone, licence, registration and insurer.
- Take photos of both cars, the scene and any warning lights.
- Call the police if needed. Call 000 if anyone is trapped or injured, a driver seems affected by alcohol or drugs, or someone leaves without exchanging details. If police don't attend, you must still report the crash within 24 hours if a vehicle is towed away or you couldn't give your details to the other driver. Use the Police Assistance Line on 131 444 (NSW Government).
- Don't drive the car if in doubt. Fluid leaks, a high-voltage warning, broken lights or damage near the wheels are all reasons to call for EV-safe towing instead. A G6 should go on a flatbed, not be towed with its wheels on the road.
- Call your insurer, then call us. We can arrange the tow and lodge or follow up the claim for you.

How we repair your G6
Every G6 that comes into our XPeng collision centre at Belmont goes through the same steps:
- Make it safe. The high-voltage system is switched off, isolated and tested before any tool touches the body.
- Find all the damage. Damaged panels come off so we can spot hidden damage, then we agree the repair plan with your insurer.
- Repair the structure. The car goes on a computerised measuring bench and is pulled back within XPeng's factory tolerances.
- Replace parts to spec. Parts are sourced to XPeng's specification for your exact model, protecting your crash safety and warranty.
- Match the paint. We read your G6's exact colour with a spectrophotometer, spray it in a temperature-controlled booth and blend it into nearby panels.
- Recalibrate and test. Affected cameras and radar are recalibrated, and we check the high-voltage connectors and charging system before handover.
Every repair carries a lifetime workmanship guarantee. If your G6 took a heavy hit, read Can an XPeng be repaired after a major accident?

XPeng G6 repair FAQs
Where can I get my XPeng G6 repaired near Newcastle?
WGBW Belmont, at Unit 1, 26 Bluebell St, Belmont, is a short drive from Newcastle. It repairs the XPeng G6, P7 and G9 and handles towing, insurance claims and sensor recalibration.
Can any smash repairer fix an XPeng G6?
Not safely. The G6 needs a repairer trained in 800-volt high-voltage safety, with the equipment to measure the body and recalibrate its driver-assistance sensors.
Do I need ADAS recalibration after a minor crash?
Usually, yes, if a bumper, mirror, windscreen or sensor bracket was damaged or removed. Even small knocks can move sensors that control emergency braking and lane keeping.
Will my G6 be towed safely?
Yes. We tow EVs on flatbeds so the wheels stay off the road, which protects the motors and battery. Towing is available 24/7 across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.
How long will my G6 be off the road?
It depends on the damage and parts supply. Minor repairs can take days, while structural repairs take longer. Eligible customers get a replacement car for the whole repair.
