Onehunga sits about seven kilometres from our Great South Road workshop — a short run along Church Street and Neilson Street, or straight down from the Onehunga Mall end.
We have repaired a lot of Onehunga cars over twenty years, and we are already listed in Google for panel and paint work in the area. This page is simply so you can find us directly.
The work
- Collision repair — impact damage assessed, straightened, replaced and refinished
- Panel beating and replacement with correct body line alignment
- Rust repair — genuinely relevant this close to the Manukau Harbour foreshore, where salt air does steady damage to sills, wheel arches and door bottoms
- Spray painting and colour matching
- Cut and polish — machine paint correction for faded, oxidised or swirl-marked paint
- Headlight restoration — clouded, yellowed lenses cut back and UV sealed, which also clears a common WOF failure
- Dent removal and bumper repair
- Insurance repairs
Rust, and why we mention it first
If your car has lived near the Onehunga foreshore for any length of time, rust is the repair that creeps up on you. It starts under the paint at the bottom of a door or the lip of a wheel arch, and by the time it bubbles through, the metal behind it has already gone.
We cut rust out and let in new metal rather than filling over it. It is more work and it costs more than a cosmetic patch, but a filled rust repair reappears within a couple of years and takes more of the panel with it when it does.
Onehunga has plenty of panel shops — here is our case
We are not the closest workshop to central Onehunga and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What we offer is a business that has been in the same hands, at the same address, since 2005, doing structural and insurance work as well as cosmetic repairs.
If you want a quote to compare against a closer shop, send photos to 027 549 4113. We would rather give you an honest number you can weigh up than talk you into driving across town. We have a courtesy car available and can collect and return the vehicle if that makes it easier.
