Why book a panel beater through Airtasker?

If you’ve been in a minor car accident, or your vehicle has been dented in the car park, it stands to reason that you’ll want to get it repaired. For damage to your car’s body, a panel beater is who you need to see.

Car panel beaters specialise in removing dents and restoring your vehicle to its original condition. This normally includes small details like touching up the paint work to make your car appear new.

All vehicles are designed to high standards to protect you in the case of an accident, and your car’s body is often its first line of defence. If it becomes damaged, it will be less effective if you were to be in another accident – putting you and your passengers are risk and costing much more to fix.

What do panel beaters do?

Panel beating is a niche form of car servicing offered by mechanics all around Australia. Its primary concern is removing damage to the body of a car, ute or truck. This often means they’re removing dents from a vehicle, but they may also have to replace parts depending on the severity of the damage.

Most panel beaters also offer a tidy-up service, where they match the colour of your vehicle and paint around the affected area to make it look as good as new.

Auto repair

Panel beaters often have experience with areas of a car other than just its body. If there are any other aspects of auto repair you need help with – whether it’s smashed headlights from an accident or an ongoing issue you haven’t got around to fixing yet – it’s always worth asking if it’s something that can be fixed while they’re looking at your car.

Car detailing

As part of a standard job, but also available as a standalone offering, panel beaters often offer a car detailing service. The main focus of this is normally touching up the paintwork around the damaged area, but it can extend to a wash, vacuum and polish.

Windscreen repairs

For vehicles that have been involved in bigger accidents, you may find that you need window and windscreen repairs. The mechanic will remove the affected glass, clean up any pieces that have made their way into the interior and replace the windscreen to make your car as good as new.
