A good pannel beater in Chch?

Post by petefj40 »

I'm on the hunt for a A1 pannel beater in Chch to help get my FJ40 in mint condition again. There's next to no rust in truck so that won't be a problem. Finding a good pannel beater might be though.

I'd be greatful for any advice.
Thanks,
Pete.

They did some work on my safari, and I was not that impressed with it. New brighton paint and panel did some work on my terrano a few years back and I was very impressed. Sheppard and Kime make you pay for loan cars like they are hire cars.

I used to deal with Gary A Smith on Tuam street, for my work fleet, executive decision to change to Perfect Panel was the only reason I changed.:?

Was more than happy with Gary A Smiths work :roll:
