Recomended Panelbeaters?

[rolla_fxgt]

Who have you guys had a good experience with in regards to pannel beaters for crash damage?

My Flattie backed rather rapidly into the front of my car & caused some minorish damage, but has creased a few panels & put them out of alignment & broken a few bits & pieces on the front of my car.

Only things i can see are out of whack more than minorly is the crease in my bonnet & my alarm sensor in my bonnet being out of wack since the bonnet doesnt close properly.

I've heard clements & stevens do a good job & match paint really well, anyone else you guys can recommend? I prefer quality over price since insurance is paying for it not me.

No more stone chips on the bonnet & fornt bumper for me now

Harrows did a fairly nice job painting the MR2, all of st johns work goes there and dads always happy with their work.

What about Calvin who owns the panelbeating place out in the old mill in Mosgiel. Anyone heard if he does a good job or anything?
My brother was going to take the GTS-25 there and properly fix the crash damaged rear, because when it was done in Queenstown it looked as though it was a backyard job.

I always go to Clement and Stevens, they do a really good job.
But last time insurance paid up i had to go to Collision City, which they also did a pretty good job

Going with clements & stephens. The guy Steve knows my uncle so's really batting for me to get a bit extra.

Im going to get the rear bumper & maybe the side skirts repainted at the same time, its only costing me $90 to get the rear bumper done, which includes it being taken off stripped prepped & painted with a clour match & reattached. Seems a good deal to me.

Cheers for the suggestions, felt my car was a bit lowly to go into abfx, maybe end of next year if i get a decent job & can save for my project without my Mrs getting hold of the wallet for other useless things

Insurance rung up today with the total for the repairs $1100 glad im not paying for it.

Apparently the killer is the parts, especially the new fx badge needed. He couldnt give me an exact price but said it was one of the most expensive badges he'd seen. Good ol toyota aye.
