About
Family-Owned Panel & Paint in Ashburton, Run by People Who Fix It Themselves
Collisions Plus is a family-owned panel and paint shop in Allenton, Ashburton, run day to day by Matt Colgan and Dan, bringing 50+ years combined experience to every repair.
Our Approach
Manufacturer Standard, Every Time
Every repair is carried out in-house at our Allenton workshop to manufacturer standard, whether it's an insurance job or a private repair. We give it to you straight, and we won't hand your car back until we're happy with it ourselves.
That means walking you through what's actually needed before any work starts, not just handing over a quote and getting on with it. We use quality parts and paints, take the time to get the colour match right, and stand by the finish - if something isn't up to scratch, we fix it before the car goes anywhere. It's the same standard whether it's a full insurance repair or a small job you're paying for yourself.
The Team
Matt, Dan and the Team
Collisions Plus is run by Matt Colgan (Owner) and Dan, bringing 50+ years combined experience in panel and paint between them. It's a small, hands-on team, working on cars, utes and light commercials from across Mid Canterbury.
Being family-owned and hands-on means the same people who quote the job are the ones doing the repair - not a call centre and a rotating roster of contractors. If you've got a question about your car while it's with us, you're talking directly to the person working on it, not being passed around.
