Collision damage can range from a cosmetic dent to damage across several panels. The team looks at the full extent of the damage before deciding what can be repaired and what may need replacing.

Repair or replace?

Repair or replace?

Where a panel can be repaired properly, the team will work to restore it. Where replacement is the right option, Maidstone can source and fit replacement panels as part of the repair. The approach depends on the location, severity and construction of the damaged area.

Superb service for my dented Tesla. The team were efficient and professional from my initial inquiry right up until the day I picked my car up. Loved the bonus clean!

Pania Gray · Google review

Friendly and excellent communication at each step, from assessment to booking in, and they finished a day before the estimated pick-up time. Flawless repair - the car looks brand new.

Ute repairs needed, insurance covered. Very approachable, quick assessment, quick repairs. Even used their loan car at a very reasonable daily rate.
