Removes hail damage, door dings and minor dents without repainting, keeping the vehicle's original factory paint intact. It's usually faster and cheaper than a full panel repair since there's no paint or bodywork involved - the first thing worth checking after hail or a car park scrape. The technique works by massaging the metal back into shape from behind the panel with specialised tools, rather than filling or sanding the surface, so there's no risk of a colour mismatch either.

Full structural and cosmetic repair after a crash, from a single damaged panel through to major impact damage, carried out in-house at the Allenton workshop to manufacturer standard. As a family-run business, every job gets the same personal attention, and we handle the insurance side directly so you're not left chasing anyone. Every repair is properly assessed before any work starts, so the quote reflects what the vehicle actually needs rather than a rough guess.

Panel beating, straightening and refinishing for smash damage of any size, insurance job or private repair, with the vehicle assessed and quoted before work starts. We'll talk you through what's actually involved before anything begins, so there are no surprises partway through the repair. From a single dented panel to multiple points of impact, the same manufacturer-standard process applies regardless of job size.

Cutting out and replacing corroded panels and structural rust rather than masking it, so the repair actually holds - important for older vehicles and anything that's spent time near the coast. Rust removal is one of our core services alongside panel beating and painting, not an occasional add-on. Left untreated, rust spreads under the paint long before it's visible on the surface, so catching it early is usually the difference between a straightforward panel repair and a much bigger job.

Approved repairer for Tower Insurance and FMG, working directly with all major insurers on claims for Ashburton and Mid Canterbury customers. Navigating a claim after an accident can be a hassle, so we handle the back-and-forth with your insurer and keep you updated, rather than leaving you to manage it yourself. Being an approved repairer means we already have an established working relationship with these insurers, which generally makes for a smoother claims process than going through an unfamiliar workshop.

Structural chassis and frame straightening to bring the vehicle back to factory alignment after an impact, checked against manufacturer tolerances before the car is signed off. This affects how the vehicle handles and how safely it performs in another accident, so it's never a step we cut corners on. A vehicle can look straight from the outside and still be out of alignment underneath, which is why this gets properly checked rather than assumed fine once the visible panel damage is fixed.

Suspension component repair and replacement following collision damage, addressing handling and safety issues that aren't always visible from the outside. It's checked as a routine part of most collision repairs, since impact can affect suspension components with no obvious external sign. Left unaddressed, this kind of damage often shows up later as uneven tyre wear or a vehicle that pulls to one side, well after the original accident.

Colour-matched panel and full-vehicle spraywork, mixed and checked by eye against the surrounding paint before it goes near the booth so the repair doesn't stand out as a patch job. We use quality paints and take the finishing touches seriously, whether it's a single panel after a collision or a full respray. Getting the colour match right is one of the most noticeable parts of any repair, and the easiest one to get wrong if it's rushed.

Repair and refinishing for kerbed, scraped or corroded alloy wheels, restoring the factory finish rather than requiring a full wheel replacement. Usually the faster and more affordable option where the wheel itself isn't structurally damaged. Worth checking after any collision too, since wheels are often affected by an impact even when the damage isn't obvious at a glance.

Complete respray for vehicles needing a full colour or finish restoration, not just a single panel - matched to the exact factory colour code. Usually worth considering when a vehicle has multiple panels affected, or for a full cosmetic refresh on an older vehicle. It's a bigger job than a single-panel repair, but it means the whole vehicle comes out with one even, consistent finish rather than a new panel sitting next to older paintwork.

Repairs cracked or broken bumpers, trim and other plastic vehicle components by rejoining the plastic itself, rather than requiring a full replacement part. A cost-effective option where the part isn't otherwise damaged and just needs to be made whole again. Particularly useful for bumpers, since a cracked bumper is often otherwise still perfectly good and doesn't need to be thrown out and replaced.

Removes cloudiness and yellowing from headlight lenses, restoring clarity for both appearance and safe visibility at night. A straightforward job that makes a real difference without needing to replace the headlight unit itself. Headlights cloud over gradually from years of UV exposure, so it's easy not to notice how much clarity's been lost until they're restored side by side with a clear one.
