Panel beaters, also called smash repairers, are people who repair cars and other vehicles after a collision. A panel beater can return your car to its pre-accident condition.

The panel beating process involves removing, repairing and replacing damaged panels, as well as spray painting, chassis alignment, and refitting body hardware.

Responsibilities of a panel beater

• Removing, repairing, and replacing damaged panels
• Repairing dents and scratches with specialty fillers
• Filing and sanding the bodywork to ensure a smooth finish
• Replacing damaged parts with genuine parts from the vehicle manufacturer
• Installing body hardware such as door locks and sensors
• realigning the chassis and body frame
• Repainting the vehicle and matching the original colour

 These are professional experts who repair the body of the car with some specialized skills like:

• Planishing: It is a metalworking technique that finely shapes and smoothens sheet metal to finish its surface.
• Metalworking: Metals are used to create individual parts, assemblies, or large structures.
• Welding: High heat is used to join metals or thermoplastics together by fusing them into one piece.
