I would just like to say how professional Goldfields Collision Centre were to deal with. My wife hit a kangaroo in her car, and the car was towed to Goldfields Collision by our insurance company. Trent and his team made my wife feel comfortable with the whole process, they kept her updated, explained what needs to be done and how was going to happen to the car, and generally went well beyond what I had previously experienced with getting panel beating done. Car looks great, service perfect! I hope we never need smash repairs again, but if we do, We will certainly be using Goldfields Collision. Thanks Heaps, John and Sue.

Handy tips

Are you beating yourself up trying to find a panel beater?

Use these insider tips to find the best car panel beaters near you:

No one likes to be without their car. Ask for a clear timeline of when you can expect the car to be returned to you or if it’s a small job, have a mobile panel beater come to you.
Likewise, ask if they are able to transport you after dropping your car off or provide a discount on a rental car.
Do they use genuine parts? If you receive a quote substantially lower than other comparative quotes there’s a good chance they are using inferior parts.
Genuine parts made by the manufacturer will both fit, function and last better. Always ask the panel beater, regardless of price if they use genuine parts.
It’s quite common to see panel beater quotes offered as generic package instead of a preferably tailored quote. However, it’s a good idea to ask if they have experience with your model of car to ensure no hidden cost or quality surprises.
Paint is an often overlooked consideration. Beware cheap and nasty paints that degrade quickly, peel off easily and are quite often made with toxic compounds.

Don’t settle for second best and regret it later. Use these tips to get yourself a quote from a panel beater that’s right for you!
