Expertise, Experience, Excellence: Why the Right Panelbeater Matters

When you've had a car accident, the last thing you need is added stress over repairs! That's why choosing the right panelbeater is so important - they can make the process easier, faster, and ensure you get a superior finish.

Remember, the choice is yours!

In New Zealand, car insurance companies have a list of approved suppliers. For example, Mills Collision Repair is approved by all the major brands - from AA Insurance to QBE and everyone in between. This includes smaller brands such as Ando, RNAC, and Monument.

On top of that, a company like IAG (which owns AMI, State, NZI, NAC, Lumley, and Lantern) has set up their own collision repair business called Repairhub.

It may sound a little complicated, but in simple terms, all policyholders are well within their rights to select the panelbeater of their choice.

The Risks of the "Recommended" Option

While it may seem convenient to opt for your insurer's suggested repair shop, it's essential to weigh the implications. Insurance companies might recommend certain shops due to profitability reasons. These recommended shops could also lack the expertise in niche areas, such as European vehicles.


Stories from the Ground

Over the years, numerous clients have expressed their satisfaction after choosing Mills Collision Repair. They value our meticulous attention to detail, open communication, and the assurance that their vehicle is in capable hands.

Talk To Your Panelbeater First

A good panelbeater will be fully committed to doing what's right for your vehicle. This includes offering an independent perspective and talking with your insurance company to

ensure the right repairs are made. While going direct to your insurer may seem like the best option, please remember that some insurers may put their own best interests first.

Your vehicle deserves top-tier care, and you should always be in the know. Ask the right questions and choose a panelbeater that aligns with your values and needs. At Mills Collision Repair in Hamilton, we're committed to delivering quality repairs and unmatched service.
