WHAT WE DO

Eight ways we put your car back to spot on.

From a major collision to a stubborn water leak no one else can find — every job leaves the workshop inspected by Dave himself.

01

Smash & Collision Repair

Full accident repair across all makes and models — dents, dings, breaks and scrapes. Dave guarantees every job is finished to a standard that looks like the accident never happened, whether it's an insurance claim or a private repair.

All makes & models Insurance claims assistance Private repairs accepted
OUR SPECIALTY

Car Water Leak Repair

Water leak detection is what we're known for. Dave tracks down and seals even the most stubborn leaks — serving the North Shore, West Auckland and the CBD.

  • Blocked sunroof drains
  • Deteriorated door & window seals
  • Weld seam separation
  • Tail light seal failures
  • Windscreen bonding complications
03

WOF Repairs

Failed your Warrant of Fitness on bodywork? We bring vehicles back up to WOF standard — structural rust, seatbelts, headlights and brake lights sorted properly.

04

Dents & Scratches

Car-park dings, trolley dents and key scratches removed cleanly from bumpers, doors, bonnets and side panels — restoring the panel and the paint to factory finish.

05

Body & Paint / Spray Painting

Full body and paint refinishing carried out with industry professionals. Dave personally inspects every vehicle after painting to confirm colour match and finish quality before it leaves.

Courtesy Cars

A loan vehicle keeps you moving while we work on yours. Numbers are limited, so booking is required — let us know in advance and we'll arrange one for your repair.

07

Insurance Work

We work with every major insurer in New Zealand. And remember — who repairs your car is your choice. You are never obliged to use your insurer's preferred repairer.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

A family workshop, not a repair factory.

Spot On Panel Beaters is a family-owned and operated firm established in 2003, on Barrys Point Road in Takapuna — just ten minutes from Auckland's CBD. We're the deliberate, personal alternative to the high-volume "repair factory": every car gets real attention, and every job is finished to a standard you'd expect of your own vehicle.
