From a small bumper scuff to a full structural rebuild, every job follows the same disciplined process — assessment, repair to manufacturer specification, factory-finish refinishing, full pre-delivery inspection and complimentary valet.
Whether you have a small dent or major damage across multiple panels, we have the tools and the skill to restore your car. Dents are not only unsightly — they compromise the safety of your vehicle.
Our professional refinishers take the time to deliver a true factory finish on every vehicle. All work is carried out in dust-free, environmentally responsible spray booths.
We restore metal or plastic bumpers to look as new. We handle scratches, dents, holes and cracks across all bumper types — no need to replace what can be properly repaired.
We have the equipment and the experience to verify and restore your chassis to manufacturer specification when it has been compromised in an accident.
We are a Recommended Repairer for New Zealand's leading insurance and fleet management companies. Our team handles the paperwork — you get on with your week.
23 quality loan vehicles, ready to keep you mobile while we work — from small two-door hatches through to four-door sedans and wagons.
Every vehicle is process-tracked by a computerised system, so we know exactly what stage of repair it is up to at any given time — and you receive daily SMS updates throughout the job.
Every repair is photographed at intake, mid-repair and on delivery. The pieces below are indicative of the standard we hold every job to.

Onehunga Branch
Purpose-built European-style facility — 30 work bays and two drive-through down-draft spray booths. The flagship structural repair site.
“The guys at APP Onehunga are fabulous. I have never had such wonderful panel work done before. They were punctual ordering parts, having the quote approved by my insurer, completing the job and returning my car. They also cleaned and vacuumed all the interior — like receiving a brand new car back. A courtesy car was organised as swiftly as they could. I will never use another panel beater again, this team is just so great and trustworthy. Alex was an absolute star.
“Great service, really helpful, pleasant staff who I enjoyed dealing with. Their personal approach was excellent and created an awesome first impression. Did a great job on my VW Polo and I’m very happy — I would certainly recommend them.
“The team were really flexible about my scheduling arrangements and went over and above with their panel beating service. I got my car back with excellent paintwork and my stereo display operating again after it had stopped working months ago. Plus a nicely adjusted handbrake. Great bonuses.
“After an altercation with my car I contacted APP Onehunga and was told to bring it in for an assessment. They could not have been more helpful. I particularly want to thank Alex. As a senior I can get a little flustered. He was so kind and patient, explaining everything clearly. When I asked if they could do a little extra repair, which I would pay for separately, he immediately said no problem. All the work was done in double quick time to an extremely high standard. I can’t recommend them highly enough — 5 out of 5.
At Auckland Panel & Paint we keep a dedicated fleet of 23 loan vehicles so you can carry on with your week while we look after the repair. From small two-door hatches to four-door sedans and wagons.

Every vehicle in our workshop is process-tracked by a computerised system. We know precisely which stage of repair your car is at — and we keep you in the loop with daily text updates throughout the job.
