Ferry Panel & Paint is a panel beater on Maces Road in Woolston, east of the city, with a 4.7 rating on Google. Panel beaters repair collision damage, straightening or replacing panels and repainting so the repair disappears into the rest of the car. After a bump it pays to get a written estimate before any work starts, and to remember that in New Zealand you can usually choose your own repairer rather than being sent only to your insurer's preferred shop. Dents with the paint intact can often be fixed by paintless dent removal, which is quicker and cheaper than a full panel repair. On bigger jobs, ask how the quote covers colour matching, since careful shops blend new paint into neighbouring panels so there is no visible line. For Woolston and eastern-suburbs drivers, a well-rated repairer on Maces Road keeps crash repairs close to home.
