Caravan & Motorhome Panel and Paint Christchurch.

Canterbury motorhomes and caravans cop a lot. Hailstorms off the Plains pepper roofs and side panels. Tight campground turns scrape side walls. Heat warps fibreglass on the West Coast runs. Salt spray off Lyttelton corrodes panels. Side wall damage from awning failures, water ingress from roof seams, factory clear coat fading in the Canterbury sun. Older motorhomes brought in from the North Island often arrive with rust we have to address before paint goes anywhere near them.

Most local panel shops aren't set up to handle motorhomes. The vehicles are too big for standard booths, the panels are too long for typical fabrication benches, and the fibreglass work needs equipment most workshops don't have. That's how owners end up with quotes from Auckland or having their vehicle sit on hardstands for months waiting for the only suitable booth in the region.

Autobody & Glass Repairs has served Canterbury since 1999. Family run from one workshop in Belfast, with two generations on the floor and an 18-metre heated spray booth purpose-built for big vehicles. Darryl Froom trained as a coachbuilder through New Zealand Railways and has 40+ years on motorhomes, caravans, buses and trucks. Every job stays in-house, from panel work to fibreglass repairs to factory colour-match paint, with no subcontracting out. We can also eye colour match.

We hand over a full set of photos with the invoice, handle insurance assessors directly, and work with all major NZ insurers including AA, Vero, IAG, Tower, State and AMI. Servicing Belfast, Christchurch, Kaiapoi, Rangiora, Rolleston, Lincoln, Lyttelton, Halswell, Hornby, Riccarton, Papanui, North Canterbury and Mid Canterbury, plus motorhome jobs from the wider New Zealand area.
