Bodywork Repairs

Whether your vehicle has sustained a heavy impact in an accident, a deep crease from a car park column, or a damaged panel that needs replacing, our comprehensive bodywork repair service has you covered. Our Canterbury workshop is equipped with professional hydraulic pulling equipment, specialized welding tools, and panel-beating instruments. Our experienced technicians can reform steel and aluminum panels to their exact original profiles. For panels damaged beyond repair, we source and fit genuine OEM replacement parts, aligning them with millimeter-level precision before painting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have Questions?

Do I have to use my insurance company's approved repairer?

No. You have the absolute legal right to choose where your vehicle is repaired. Insurers often prefer their network to keep their own costs down, which can sometimes lead to aftermarket parts being used. Choosing Max Auto Colour ensures no compromises on quality.

Will choosing you affect my manufacturer warranty?

No. We repair all vehicles to manufacturer standards using approved techniques, parts, and premium paint systems, meaning your vehicle's warranty remains fully intact.

What if the accident was not my fault?

If the accident was non-fault, we can handle the claim entirely through a non-fault accident management scheme. This means you pay zero excess, receive a equivalent replacement hire vehicle, and your insurer is not involved, protecting your no-claims bonus.
