Gordon Milne Paint & Panel is a panel beating workshop at 38 Hands Road in Hillmorton, Christchurch, holding a 4.7 rating on Google.
Panel beaters deal with everything from a ding picked up in a supermarket car park to straightening a body after a serious crash, and where shops differ most is the paint. A good shop blends colour into the panels either side of a repair rather than spraying one in isolation, because paint fades over the years and a match that looked fine indoors can show in daylight. Ask for a written quote stating whether new, secondhand or aftermarket parts will be fitted, and how long the car will be off the road. For minor dents, it is worth asking whether paintless dent removal is an option before assuming a respray is needed.
For Hillmorton drivers with a dented door or something bigger, Gordon Milne Paint & Panel puts that know-how on the doorstep.
