Panel beating and smash repairs
Crash repairs are what the shop was built on and what it still does most of. Everything from a car park scrape to a full rebuild after a serious prang.
Our story
Started by one Jones. Run by four generations of them.
Lindsay's father opened the shop in October 1981. Lindsay took it on in the mid nineties and it has stayed in the family the whole way through. Four generations of Joneses have now worked in the place, and we reckon that makes us the longest established panelbeater and smash repairer in the Mid-Western Regional shire.
We have used the Standox paint range since 1986 and never saw a reason to swap. When the old solvent system was phased out we went to the Axalta training centre and put the waterborne system through its paces before we would take it on.
“We've been using the Standocryl range since 1986. We wanted to stay with the Standox brand, we didn't want to go to another company.”
That is roughly how the whole shop runs. Do it properly, stick with what works, and answer the phone when someone is stuck on the side of the road at two in the morning.
