treone 680 Report post Posted Tuesday at 07:28 PM (edited) Which panel beaters would Auckland members recommend in the Mangere area (or wider) that are reasonably priced? A nephews VW Polo failed a warrant due to panel damage to passenger side doors (didn’t know this is a wof failure). Understand they are dented and will require paint. Will post photos when I get some. He is only in Auckland on a temporary basis and doesn’t have the contacts. Thanks in advance!

Interesting. Maybe they deemed it as dangerous to people outside the car? https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general/vehicle-exterior/external-projections Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treone 680 Report post Posted Tuesday at 10:20 PM I know right. Haven’t seen the damage but I understand that it was scrapped and dented don’t know if anything is protruding lol. FYI it happened a little while ago (was driving in a car park and someone reversed out of their park, ‘hitting’ the side - so low impact) and he was uninsured at the time so needs to sort it independently ☹️ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palazzo 526 Report post Posted Tuesday at 10:54 PM How old is it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treone 680 Report post Posted Tuesday at 11:24 PM Good question, not 100% but I’m guessing no more than 8-10 years old. Will find that out too 😁 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palazzo 526 Report post Posted 11 hours ago Is that the sill that is damaged? And what year? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treone 680 Report post Posted 10 hours ago Now that I’ve seen the pics I’m thinking it maybe ☹️. Waiting to confirm year. Heres another pic: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palazzo 526 Report post Posted 10 hours ago If it’s the sill, not a cosmetic cover, that will be an issue. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treone 680 Report post Posted 10 hours ago ^^Agree - won’t know the extent till it gets looked at/assessed. Any suggestions/recommendations on who to take it to? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark247 42 Report post Posted 10 hours ago I’ve had work done at Evoke Bodywork’s in Otahuhu and thought they were pretty good. It was proper rust repair stuff and they took heaps of photos and clearly did a top job. Price seemed reasonable enough. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palazzo 526 Report post Posted 5 hours ago I did have a guy (also in Otahuhu), but he’s moved to Australia. Would assume this parked next to me right now is a warrant fail as well…. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
