After an accident, it's easy to assume that all repairers offer the same level of service. However, the quality of collision repairs varies from workshop to workshop. While price and convenience are important factors when choosing a repairer, they're only part of the picture.

Every driver hopes they will never be involved in a car accident, but accidents can unfortunately happen to even the safest and most responsible road users. Even if you follow every road rule and stay alert behind the wheel, you can never guarantee that other drivers are doing the same. In the moments after a crash, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed or unsure about what to do next.

The term “panel beater” is an older industry term for a qualified technician who repairs damaged vehicle bodies. Today, these tradespeople may also be referred to as Automotive Repair Technicians, and their workplaces may be known as bodyshops, collision repair centres, accident repairers, repairers or, as we are proudly known as at Kate Presnell Bodyworks, Bodyworks.
