SPOT ON
Smash repairs, spray painting, dents, rust and stubborn water leaks — fixed by an owner-operator with 30+ years on the tools. No repair-factory shortcuts. Just your car, put right.
Spot On Panel Beaters has been family-owned and run from 24 Barrys Point Road, Takapuna since 2003 — ten minutes from the Auckland CBD, and a world away from the high-volume "repair factories".
Owner-operator Dave brings more than 30 years of hands-on experience and a craftsman's eye. He takes on the complex jobs other shops turn away, personally inspects every vehicle after painting to check colour match and finish, and won't sign off until it looks like the accident never happened.
His wife Adele runs the office and keeps every job moving — booking courtesy cars, handling the insurer paperwork, and making sure the whole thing stays as hassle-free and relaxing for you as it can be.
