Who we are

A workshop built on precision, not guesswork.

Every dent tells a story, and we make it our job to erase the bad ones. From a parking-lot scuff to a chassis that's twisted out of true, our shop handles the work other places turn away.

You get straight metal, a flawless colour match, and a car that leaves here looking like the day it was built.

Good to know

Straight answers,
no jargon.

Do you handle insurance work?

Yes. Bring your quote or claim details in and we'll walk through the scope with you. We work to the insurer's specs and keep you posted at every step.

Can you match my exact paint colour?

Yes. We mix to your car's factory code and blend the new paint into the surrounding panels so the repair is invisible under sunlight.

How long does a full colour change take?

A full respray across every panel and jamb is a proper job, not an afternoon. We'll give you an honest timeframe on your quote once we've seen the car.

Do you do restoration and customizing?

Yes — it's our specialty. Fiberglass work, full restorations and custom finishes are all on the table. Tell us what you're building and we'll quote it properly.

Do you offer polishing and detailing?

Yes. Professional polishing and detailing to bring tired paint back to a deep, honest gloss — book a slot and we'll take it from there.

Bring it in. We'll straighten it out.

Open Monday to Saturday in Johannesburg. Walk-ins welcome, quotes always free.
