Common questions

Should a damaged panel be repaired or replaced?

The decision depends on severity, material, alignment, repair access, finish requirements and component availability. Inspection is required.

Can replacement panels be colour-matched?

Replacement panels can be prepared and refinished, with colour and blending requirements assessed against the existing vehicle.
