★★★★★ 4.9 starFamily run since 1999Insurance approved

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 that never come, 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.

HOW WE WORK

Built around your fleet, not the queue.

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

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.
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.
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.
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. Every job photographed for the handover.
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.
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.
