We had a small leak on our Campervan and have been to 2 other Windscreen/Panelbeaters who just sealed the Windscreen... which didnt fixed the Problem. Here he had a better look and suggested to seal the sidebar, what we did then and it fixed the problem 🙌🏽 To be honest we were skeptical at first, but it worked, thanks for the easy solution and quick work.

I spent years trying to find a decent Panel Beater in Christchurch, until these guys were recommended to me by my Mum. Poor colour matching, and obvious sanding marks on bog, was the main issue with getting repairs done at previous places. I had my recent car, which is my baby recently repainted on the bonnet, front bumper to repair some damage previously on the car when I bought it and on the passengers door where someone left a deep scratch and they redid a couple of my mag wheels that had been scrapped on the rims. These guys are exceptional! Both in customer service, care for your vehicle, and top quality repairs, paint work and communication during the whole process, with insurance companies and time frames. I have a very honed eye for detail with my previous sign writing experience, which included pin striping cars that had been repaired. I'm super fussy with the end result and these guys nail it, every time! Highly recommend you go and see the team here 👍😊

I had a great experience with Wade and the team at Specialised Panel and Paint. After an incident with my car, they were incredibly professional, quick, and thorough with the repairs. The work was top-notch - you’d never even know the car had been damaged! I also really appreciated the availability of loan cars, which made things so much easier while mine was being fixed. Highly recommend them for anyone needing quality and hassle-free repairs.
