Papatoetoe is one of our closest neighbourhoods — five minutes down Great South Road from the workshop, whether you are coming from Hunters Corner, Old Papatoetoe or anywhere between.
That closeness is the main reason to use us. When your car is in for repair you have to get to work anyway, and a workshop you can reach in five minutes is a different proposition to one that turns a drop-off into a half-day exercise. We also have a courtesy car available, and we can collect and return the vehicle if that suits you better.

Small damage is worth fixing early
A lot of what comes in from Papatoetoe is small — a supermarket car park scrape, a stone chip on the bonnet, a scuffed bumper from a tight driveway. It is easy to leave these, and most people do.
The reason not to: a stone chip through the clear coat lets water sit on bare metal, and that becomes a rust repair costing many times what a touch-up would have. Small paint damage caught early is the cheapest work we do.
Touch-ups and colour matching cost a fraction of a panel respray, and we will tell you honestly when something is cosmetic enough to leave alone.
