Browns Bay Panel Beater FAQs
Can you help with an insurance claim repair?
Yes. If you’re claiming through insurance, lodge the claim first and we’ll then have access to your claim number. From there, we can assess the vehicle and take you through what happens next.
What sort of damage can you look at?
We see everything from small dents, scrapes and paint damage through to more involved collision repairs. The best place to start is with an assessment so we can see exactly what’s needed.
How long does an assessment take?
Most assessments take around 10 to 15 minutes. The actual repair time is different for every job and can depend on the damage, parts supply and insurer approval.
Do I need to make an appointment for an assessment?
We recommend getting in touch first so we can arrange a convenient time for your assessment and make sure we can give you the attention you need. You’re welcome to pop in at any time too.
