About this service
What is a CRA Structural Repair Centre?
Not every panel shop is qualified to carry out structural repairs. We have been assessed and approved to repair vehicles with damage to their safety cages, crumple zones, and chassis to manufacturer specifications. This accreditation matters for your insurance, vehicle resale, and your safety on the road.
Precision Structural Repair
Modern vehicles are engineered to absorb and redirect crash energy. When those structures are damaged, they must be repaired to exact specifications. We work to the CRA Structural Repair Code of Practice, using the correct procedures and verifying every repair with precision measuring before signing off.
Chassis Repair & Measuring
A bent or twisted chassis affects your vehicle's handling, tyre wear, and structural integrity. Our chassis repair process uses advanced 3D measuring and straightening equipment to restore your vehicle's geometry to factory tolerances.
Repair Certification Services
Some structural repairs require a certificate before the vehicle can legally return to the road. As a CRA Structural Repair Centre, our team is qualified to carry out and certify these repairs in-house to NZTA requirements, saving you time and hassle.
All Structural Repair Types
From A-pillars and B-pillars to floor pans and high-strength steel sections, we cover it all. We also work on European makes like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volkswagen, where structural materials require specific expertise.
