Dalcos Panel & Paint Pty Ltd commenced in January 1987. Cos Giancola had a vision and asked Dale Wesley to join him in creating a smash repair business. With Cos well schooled in his trade of paint work and Dale also talented in smash repairs it didn’t take long for the name of Dalcos Panel and Paint to become well known throughout the smash and insurance industry.

The rented factory in Cannington was soon outgrown and they then rented the unit behind them thus creating separate units for smash and paint work. New equipment was being purchased along the way and new employees were hired to help cope with all the work. Again the two units were outgrown and other premises had to be looked for.

A factory unit in Welshpool became available via Cos’s old boss and the temptation was too much - we accepted the offer put to us. We did some quick renovations to get the office/workshop to our likings and commenced in the Welshpool factory in 1995. With newer vehicles on the road, Dalcos had to move with the times so more equipment was purchased to keep with the trends. Another position was made available to us by the way of Car Craft.

The Car Craft Group was introduced to the public and insurance companies in 1987. Dalcos Panel and Paint was able to meet their high standards. From there we worked harder with Dale being more office orientated and Cos looking after workshop activities. In the year 2000, Cos and Dale fully renovated the premises to present the way of the future in Smash Repairs to the public and insurance companies. We also renamed the business to Dalcos Accident Repair Centre to keep up with industry interpretations.

Dalcos now employs 15 staff and will continue to strive to be the best we can and to help get you back on the road with a minimum of fuss.

Thank you,
Dale Wesley and Cos Giancola
