The first step is to make sure you choose a reputable repairer who is known in the industry for their professionalism and quality.

Panel beaters assess damage to the exterior of a motor vehicle and then perform necessary repairs. These repairs must conform to the exacting standards required by manufacturers.

Vehicle that do not comply with industry specifications and standards following repair, are unsafe, dangerous to drive and may be uninsurable.

Repairing a vehicle that has been badly damaged, requires a lot of exacting work.

Damage that has affected the structural integrity or chassis of the vehicle requires even more precision and specialised equipment. Panel beaters who do structural work are highly trained and are specialists in their field.

Because of the range and types of materials used in modern vehicles, panel beaters need ongoing training to maintain their repair certification.
