Autocrash Repairs' Porirua branch, on Kenepuru Drive, is part of a collision repair business that has been operating for more than 45 years. The company positions itself as a Collision Repair Specialist facility, handling everything from initial damage assessment through to painting and panel work.
All work carried out is guaranteed for 12 months from the date of invoice, giving customers assurance on repairs to their vehicle. The Porirua team works alongside a sister branch on the Kapiti Coast, with both operating under the same standards and services.
Autocrash Repairs has also built a reputation around sustainability, becoming New Zealand's first collision repair facility to achieve Enviro-Mark Gold Certification. The workshop is powered in part by an investment of 120 solar panels, reflecting a broader commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. The business has also been recognised with Collision Repair Awards, including Best Presented Shop and Overall Training.
On Kenepuru Drive in Porirua, Autocrash Repairs has been putting damaged vehicles back on the road for more than 45 years. As a Collision Repair Specialist facility, the Porirua branch covers the full process of getting a car back to pre-accident condition, from the first assessment of the damage through to body repair, panel beating and painting.
The range of services at Autocrash Repairs Porirua covers assessment, body repair, body touch up, scratch repairs, painting, panel beating and insurance repairs. That breadth means most collision damage — from a minor scratch to more significant structural repair — can be handled under one roof, with the team managing the process from quote to finished vehicle.
A large part of the workshop's business comes through insurance claims, and the team is set up to work directly with insurers as part of the repair process, taking some of the administrative load off customers dealing with a damaged vehicle.
Every repair completed at Autocrash Repairs comes with a 12-month guarantee from the date of invoice. For customers handing over a vehicle after a collision, that guarantee is a straightforward assurance that the work will hold up, without needing to chase anything up if an issue arises afterward.
What sets Autocrash Repairs apart in its industry is its environmental track record. The company was the first collision repair facility in New Zealand to achieve Enviro-Mark Gold Certification, a recognition of environmentally responsible business practices. That commitment has continued with a recent investment of 120 solar panels installed to help power the workshop, reducing the business's reliance on the grid and cutting its carbon footprint.
This sits alongside a set of formal environmental policies and practices built into how the workshop operates day to day, rather than being treated as a one-off initiative.
Autocrash Repairs has picked up Collision Repair Awards over the years, including recognition for Best Presented Shop and for Overall Training. Awards like these point to a workshop that invests in staff training and presentation standards, not just repair output.
The Porirua branch operates alongside a second Autocrash Repairs location on the Kapiti Coast, in Paraparaumu. Both branches operate under the same guarantee, certification standards and service offering, giving customers in either area access to the same level of repair work.
The Porirua workshop is open Monday from 7.30am to 5pm, and Tuesday to Friday from 8am to 5pm. It's closed on weekends and on national public holidays. Customers can get in touch by phone or through the contact form on the Autocrash Repairs website to arrange an assessment or start an insurance claim repair.
