What the
clients say.
Real testimonials from Auckland Panel & Paint customers — collected from our Newton and Onehunga workshops. Names retained where supplied.
“
I will never use another panel beater again. This team is just so great and trustworthy. Alex was an absolute STAR to deal with!
Onehunga client
“Punctual with parts, swift with the quote, returned the car cleaned and vacuumed inside — like a brand new car back. Courtesy car arranged. Five stars.”
“
Great service, really helpful, pleasant staff who I enjoyed dealing with. Did a great job on my VW Polo — very happy.
— Paul
“Their personal approach was excellent and created an awesome first impression. I’d certainly recommend them.”
“
Really flexible about my scheduling — went over & above. Excellent paintwork, plus a nicely adjusted handbrake. Great bonuses.
Repeat client
“Got my stereo display operating again after it had stopped working months ago.”
“
As a senior I can get a little flustered. Alex was so kind and patient, explaining everything clearly. Done in double quick time to an extremely high standard.
— C Mitchell
“I particularly liked the ‘nail varnish’ touch up bottle for any future slight blemishes. Five out of five.”
