For more than 33 years, drivers across Christchurch and the Selwyn District have turned to Templeton Panelbeaters when accidents happen. Located conveniently along Main South Road, this locally owned and operated facility pairs decades of hands-on trade craftsmanship with a genuine commitment to personal customer care.
The workshop operates with a close-knit team of seven dedicated collision repair specialists. Because accident repairs often bring stress and administrative hassle, the team focuses heavily on removing friction from the process from start to finish. From immediate assistance with minor dings to managing extensive accident damage, every vehicle is treated with meticulous attention to detail.
Templeton Panelbeaters is an approved repairer for all major insurance companies and holds industry credentials with both the Motor Trade Association (MTA) and the Collision Repair Association (CRA). Their long-standing relationships with insurers allow them to help customers navigate paperwork efficiently, expediting inspections and getting repair authorisations approved without unnecessary delays.
Recognising that losing access to a car disrupts everyday routines, Templeton Panelbeaters provides free loan cars to keep customers mobile while their vehicles are in the shop. To make the service even more accessible, they provide complimentary delivery and pick-up of loan cars directly to customers' homes or workplaces across Templeton, Rolleston, Prebbleton, Lincoln, West Melton, and neighbouring Selwyn townships.
While passenger vehicle collision repair makes up the core of daily operations, the workshop is equipped to handle complex and diverse technical challenges. Using advanced 3D measurement systems, their technicians accurately assess structural chassis integrity and execute precise realignments following major impacts. They also cater to modern automotive trends with dedicated repair processes designed for electric vehicles (EVs).
In addition to contemporary smash repairs, Templeton Panelbeaters maintains a reputation for vehicle restoration and rust remediation. Beyond standard road cars, their experienced technicians carry out body repairs, custom finishes, and rebuilds on motorsport machinery, agricultural and farm equipment, boats, campervans, caravans, and horse floats.
Finishing work in the paint shop is carried out with environmental sustainability in mind. Templeton Panelbeaters utilises modern water-based paint technology, which significantly cuts down harmful volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions while achieving a high-gloss, durable factory match on every paint job.
Whether dropping off a vehicle for full accident restoration or stopping by for quick help with a misaligned panel or damaged wing mirror, customers can expect knowledgeable guidance, straightforward honesty, and workmanship built on over three decades of community trust.
