Car Body Repairs
Hi all,
Bit of a random post but....
I am shipping my MGTF over and sadly it has a couple of dents I need to repair. Does anyone have any experience of bodyworks in NZ? Just wondering if price wise I am better off getting things done here.
Thanks all
sarah

Re: Car Body Repairs
Probably just as well to leave the dents in if you want to fit in around here.
You'll be utterly spoiled for choice among the sheer numbers of panelbeaters, I don't know how prices compare but there are a heck of a lot of them!

Yeah you'll be amazed at the amount of panelbeaters, they're everywhere.
Once you start driving you realise why there's so many. My car was at one all last week after one of the locals drove into me the other week.
So unlike most other businesses I reckon panelbeaters should be quite competitive.

Leave it till you get to get it shipped over as it may get further dings on its way out.
You will be happy to know that roads are not normally salted in New Zealand in winter.

Summer fun only - I'll have to convince my hubby I need another car too!
Thanks for the advice everyone and fiat point re dents on the way over - stupidly I hadn't thought of that.
