About Us

A local team you can actually trust with your car

We're a small, hands-on shop in Papanui and we like to keep it that way. No call centres, no getting passed between departments. Just two people who care about doing the job properly.

Andrew

Master Panel Beater

Andrew handles the heavy collision damage, the dents, the crumpled panels, the jobs other shops turn away. With years of hands on experience, he takes real pride in returning every car to its pre-accident condition, and customers regularly comment on how thorough and patient he is throughout the whole repair process.

Christine

Customer Coordination & Admin

Christine runs the front of house and keeps everything on track, insurance paperwork, quotes, updates on your car, all of it. Customers tell us again and again how much easier she makes the whole process, especially when you've just had a stressful crash and don't want to be chasing anyone for answers.

What we do

Panel beater sanding a car panel during crash repair

Panel Beating & Crash Repair

Whether it's a minor bump or major collision damage, we straighten, reshape, and rebuild panels back to factory spec. We won't stop until your car's back to the state it was in before the accident.

Polishing a car headlight and panel for a flawless finish

Finishing, Polishing & Detailing

Colour-matched paintwork and careful polishing so the repair is invisible. No dull patches, no visible edges, just a seamless cosmetic fix that blends right in.

Spanesi Touch 3D Measuring System used for accurate collision repair diagnostics

Spanesi Touch 3D Measuring System

We use the Spanesi Touch, a 3D measuring system that checks your car's structure against the exact factory specifications. It picks up hidden damage that isn't visible to the eye and confirms every repair is straightened back to true, giving you the confidence that your car is genuinely safe and sound.

Insurance

We work with every insurer

No matter who you're insured with, we can carry out your repair. Your insurer might suggest a preferred repairer, but the choice of who fixes your car is always yours.

Christine handles the claims paperwork and liaises directly with your insurance company, so you're not stuck chasing anyone or figuring out the process on your own. Just let us know who you're insured with and we'll take it from there.
