Frequently Asked Questions
At Spot On Panel Beaters, we keep things simple. You will get honest advice, clear communication and repairs done properly, without shortcuts.
Here's What Most Clients Ask:
Do I need to book before bringing my car in?
Yes, it is best to call first so we can make sure someone is available to assess your vehicle properly. For some dents, scratches or visible damage, photos may help us give initial advice, but we may still need to inspect the car in person.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. We offer free estimates for vehicle repairs. We will inspect the damage, explain what is needed and give you honest advice before any work begins.
What types of repairs do you handle?
We handle smash repairs, dent and scratch repairs, bumper repairs, body and paint, rust repairs, WOF-related repairs, water leak repairs and insurance repairs
Can you help with insurance repairs?
Yes. We work with most major insurance companies and can help guide you through the repair process, including assessing the damage and providing the required repair information.
Do I have to use the repairer my insurer recommends?
Not always. In many cases, you can choose your own repairer. If you would prefer to use a local workshop you trust, speak with your insurer and let them know.
Can you fix my car if it failed its WOF?
Yes. We carry out WOF-related repairs, including rust repairs, structural welding, panel damage and other safety-related repair work needed to help get your vehicle roadworthy again.
Do you repair rust?
Yes. We repair rust properly by removing the affected area, replacing metal where needed and refinishing the repair so it is not just covered over temporarily.
Can you find and fix water leaks in cars?
Yes. We trace and repair vehicle water leaks, including water leaks from door seals, window seals, sunroof drains, boot seals, blocked channels and hidden body seams.
Do you offer courtesy cars?
Yes. Courtesy cars are available, subject to availability. It is best to request one when booking your vehicle in so we can plan around your repair.
