What we fix

Cars, bakkies, trucks, trailers and earthmoving plant. The panelbeating, spray painting and upholstery all happen in our own workshop.
Accident repairs
Front, rear and side damage after a bump or a crash. We repair or replace the panels and paint them to match.
Dents and scratches
Car park dings, scrapes, scuffed bumpers and keyed paint. Usually cheaper to pay for yourself than to claim.
Spray painting and resprays
Single panels or full resprays, matched to your colour. We paint cars, bakkies, truck cabs, load bodies and trailers.
Truck and fleet body repairs
We take any size, from 1-tonners to heavy haulage, including trailers and plant. Companies can pay on an order number.

Questions people ask us
Do you work with insurance companies?
We're not on any insurer's approved panel and we don't deal with insurers directly.
Smaller repairs often cost less than the excess, so paying for them yourself can work out cheaper, and you keep your no-claim record. If you're claiming, check with your insurer whether you may choose your own panelbeater.
How long will my repair take?
It depends on the damage and on how quickly parts arrive. You get a time estimate with your quote.
Do you repair trucks?
Yes, every size: 1-tonners, LDVs, rigid trucks, tippers, horses, trailers, heavy haulage and earthmoving plant like excavators and TLBs. Companies can open a fleet account and work on order numbers.
How do I pay?
EFT or cash. Companies can pay on an order number.
Is the quote free?
Yes. Send photos of the damage and we'll price the job at no cost and with no obligation.
Can you tow or collect my vehicle?
Towing and collection can be arranged on request. Mention it when you send your photos. We don't offer courtesy cars.
What does the guarantee cover?
If our workmanship or paint lets you down within 12 months, bring the vehicle back and we fix it at no charge. It doesn't cover new damage, normal wear and tear, or stone chips.
Do I need to book first?
Start with photos so we can give you a price. If you'd rather we look at it in person, call ahead and bring it in during working hours.
