Jason has the shop now.

Jason Krawczyk started his apprenticeship here in 2002, working alongside his father Gene, who had bought the business in 1990. Jason has run the floor for more than ten years and is now the owner. Same family, same road, current repair procedures.

Capability

Insurance work, handled end to end.

One shop takes the job from the assessment through to the wash bay. Nothing goes out to a second workshop, so the repair is measured, painted and checked under the one roof.

01

Collision repair

Structural and panel repair, measured on a Global Jig chassis system so the body returns to its built geometry.

02

Spray painting and refinishing

PPG Envirobase waterborne colour, applied with SATA equipment and baked in Lowbake booths.

Manufacturer specification

We repair to the maker’s published procedure, so the vehicle keeps the ANCAP safety rating it was built with.

Process

How an insurance repair works.

Your insurer nominates us, you bring the claim number and the keys, and we deal with the insurer from there.

01

Booked in and assessed

Your insurer nominates us, we look at the car and agree the repair with them.

02

The work gets done

We repair to the maker’s procedure, paint it and check it against specification.

03

Pick up, sorted

We call you when it is ready, and the car goes back the way it was built.
