★★★★★ 4.9 Google rating20+ reviewsAccount-based workFamily run since 1999

Fleet operators across Canterbury have used Autobody & Glass Repairs for panel, paint, rust and glass work since 1999. Rental motorhomes coming off the road for hail damage. Truck fleets with depot scrape repairs. School buses needing rust prep before WOF. Council utes with kerb-scraped doors. The same workshop that handles individual smash repairs handles the fleet operator with vehicles down across Canterbury, scheduled around the bigger job and turned around fast. Twenty-six years of fleet work for the operators who can't afford to bounce between three different providers.

What slows your fleet down at the panel shop

Most panel shops are built for the walk-in retail customer. One vehicle in, one vehicle out, queue to the back of the line. That model doesn't work for a fleet. A rental fleet loses hundreds a day per vehicle off the road. A trades fleet has a sparky who can't run a job without their ute. A bus operator can't have a vehicle down at term start.

The standard panel shop quotes the job, books it in for six weeks' time, then subcontracts the paint to a separate facility. The fleet manager ends up calling for updates because the photos haven't come through, chasing the assessor, and explaining the same vehicle history three times to three different shops.

How we work with fleets, not just process them

Autobody & Glass Repairs has served Canterbury since 1999. Family run from one workshop in Belfast with everything in-house. Panel, paint, rust, glass — one team handles all of it for your fleet, no subcontracting. We work account-based with fleet operators, prioritise high-utilisation vehicles, and send photos at every stage so the office knows what's happening without chasing.

Insurance work handled assessor-direct with AA, Vero, IAG, Tower, State and AMI. Pickup and drop-off arrangeable. Scheduled rotation available for ongoing wear repairs across larger fleets. Monthly invoicing on account. Free quote, honest timeline, no hidden costs. Servicing Belfast, Christchurch, Kaiapoi, Rangiora, Rolleston, Lincoln, Lyttelton, Halswell, Hornby, Riccarton, Papanui, North Canterbury and Mid Canterbury, plus fleet work across the South Island.

HOW WE WORK

Built around your fleet, not the queue.

Same workshop, fleet-specific process. From quote to back-on-the-road.

  1. Get in touch

    Call, text or send a photo of the damage. One vehicle, multiple vehicles, scheduled rotation. We'll come back with a free quote, usually same day. Account application straightforward. No obligation, no hidden costs.

  2. Free quote

    You'll know what's being done, what it'll cost and how long the vehicle is off the road before we touch it. Multiple vehicles get prioritised by utilisation. If insurance is paying, we'll talk to AA, Vero, IAG, Tower, State or AMI directly. No middleman.

  3. Drop it off or we'll pick it up

    Drop the vehicle in at a time that suits your schedule. For account customers and larger fleets, we can arrange pickup and delivery across Canterbury. Your run schedule, not ours.

  4. One workshop, every job

    Panel work, paint, rust treatment, glass replacement. All in our Belfast workshop. No subcontracting out to a separate paint facility or a separate glass provider. Photos at every stage. The office sees what's happening in real-time.

  5. Final check

    Every vehicle gets a full inspection before it leaves the workshop. Paint match, panel gaps, finish, seals, surrounding repairs. If it's not right, it doesn't go out.

  6. Back on the road

    Paperwork sorted, invoice issued or added to your account. Insurance paperwork handled if it was a claim. Workmanship backed every time. If something's not right, we'll sort it.

  • Darryl and the team did a great job dealing with my insurance company and getting my car back on the road after I'd been t-boned by a young, inexperienced driver. Got the job done. No hassles! Whether you've got a small car, a large commercial vehicle or a motorhome, they do it all.
