Brown and Paterson Collision is a locally owned collision repair shop at 114 Hazeldean Road in Addington, Christchurch. It does panel beating, paintwork and refinishing for insurance and private repairs. The website says the workshop uses the latest repair technology, and it offers free professional grooming to clean the car inside and out after repair. It also says that customers have the freedom to choose their own repairer, rather than letting the insurer decide. The shop has a contact form on the website, and it is on Facebook.
Customers mention insurance claims, workmanship and car cleaning most often. One said a car hit on the passenger side was fixed well, with both doors sorted and the car returned cleaner than when bought. Another had a rust problem in the boot repaired in time for a warrant of fitness, and said the inside and outside were spotless. A third said the team kept the process simple, so they could leave the car and forget about it. Nearby, of the four panel beaters within a kilometre with ten or more reviews, none rates higher. Our pick in Addington for a repair where the car comes back looking as good as before.
