Collision Repair Guarantees in New Zealand: What You Need to Know

When your car is damaged in an accident, getting it repaired isn’t just about fixing dents and scratches. It’s about making sure the job is done right, with protection that lasts. That’s where collision repair guarantees come in. At Professional Panel + Paint in Grey Lynn, Auckland, we’re proud to back our repairs with industry-recognized guarantees that give our customers peace of mind long after they drive away.

What is a Collision Repair Guarantee?

A collision repair guarantee is a written promise that your vehicle has been repaired to proper safety and quality standards. In New Zealand, many workshops—especially those accredited by the Collision Repair Association (CRA)—offer guarantees that cover the workmanship for as long as you own the vehicle.

At Professional Panel + Paint, our CRA-backed guarantee means you can trust every repair we complete, whether it’s a small dent or a major collision repair.

Why Does it Matter?

• Safety first: You can be confident your car is structurally sound and safe to drive.

• Long-term value: A documented guarantee helps preserve your vehicle’s resale value.

• Peace of mind: If issues arise with the workmanship or finish, you’re protected.

Our customers often tell us the guarantee is one of the main reasons they choose Professional Panel + Paint over other Auckland panel beaters.

How Do Insurance-Approved Repairs Fit In?

Most insurers in New Zealand prefer or require repairs to be carried out by approved repairers. As an insurance-approved panel and paint shop in Auckland, we handle the process directly with your insurer, saving you time and hassle.

This means your repair is covered both by your insurance provider and by our workshop’s guarantee—a double layer of protection for your vehicle.

What’s Covered in a Repair Guarantee?

While details can vary, a typical NZ collision repair guarantee includes:

• Structural repairs: ensuring your car is roadworthy.

• Paintwork: colour matching and long-lasting finishes.

• Parts: quality parts that meet manufacturer standards.

• Workmanship: the skill and processes behind every repair.

At Professional Panel + Paint, we combine modern tools like Cromax Pro paint-matching technology with highly trained technicians, ensuring every element of your repair is covered.
