Panel Beater

This candidate is a highly experienced Panel Beater and Mechanic with more than 27 years working across accident repair, restoration and mechanical repair environments. Their broad skillset covers both bodyshop and mechanical operations, making them a versatile and technically capable addition to any automotive repair business.

They are experienced completing all aspects of panel repair including dent removal, rust repair, chassis work, welding and structural restoration across cars, motorcycles, trailers, buses and commercial vehicles. Alongside traditional bodyshop repairs, they also carry out mechanical repairs, modifications and vehicle restorations to a high standard.

Their background includes custom paintwork, filler work, chassis alignment and bespoke restoration projects, demonstrating strong attention to detail and pride in workmanship. Technically hands-on, they are comfortable working independently while consistently delivering repairs within deadlines and workshop productivity targets.
