— Why Auckland Panel

The benchmark
for the industry,
since 1972.

Auckland Panel & Paint Group has been a main structural repair hub for the Onehunga and central‑city area for more than half a century. As a benchmark to the industry, our aim is to stay at the forefront of international practices in training, technology and methodology — with the least possible inconvenience to our clients.

Every collision‑damaged vehicle is returned to manufacturer specification. Every panel and paint repair is warranted for the lifetime that you own the vehicle. And every job is tracked with daily text updates — because being kept in the dark about your own car is its own kind of stress we’d rather you didn’t carry.

— Reputation

"I’ll never use
another panel beater
again."

In a trade where word of mouth still moves more cars than any advertisement, this is what clients tell us when the work is done.

The guys at APP Onehunga are fabulous. I’ve never had such wonderful panel work done before. I was very impressed by how punctual they were with ordering parts, having the quote approved by my insurance provider, and completing the job and returning my car. They also cleaned and vacuumed all of the interior so it was like receiving a brand new car back. A courtesy car was organised for me as swiftly as they could. I will never use another panel beater again — this team is just so great and trustworthy.

★★★★★
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’d certainly recommend them.
Paul

★★★★★
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 and anxious on occasions. He was so kind and patient, explaining everything clearly. All the work was done in double quick time to an extremely high standard. I particularly liked the ‘nail varnish’ touch up bottle for any future slight blemishes. I can’t recommend them highly enough — 5 out of 5.
