FAQ
Is panel beating covered by insurance?
Yes, most comprehensive car insurance policies cover panel beating if the damage results from an accident or insured event. After an incident, your insurer may recommend a repairer, or you may choose your own approved provider. In many cases, the panel beating shop liaises directly with the insurer to organise quotes, assessments and approvals. You may still need to pay an excess depending on your policy. Always review your product disclosure statement for full details about what’s included in your cover.
Can all dents be repaired with panel beating?
Most dents, creases and body damage can be repaired using traditional panel beating techniques or paintless dent removal, depending on the size and location of the damage. Shallow dents without paint damage can often be fixed more quickly, while deeper dents near edges or structural panels may require more intensive repairs. If the metal is stretched or the paint is cracked, it may need panel replacement and repainting. An experienced panel beater will assess the damage and recommend the best method. In areas like Airlie Beach, where 4WDs and utes are popular, body damage from off-road use is also common and usually repairable.
Do I need to repair minor dents or scratches?
Even small dents and scratches should be repaired to prevent long-term damage. A minor dent may seem cosmetic, but it can expose the metal beneath the paint to moisture, leading to rust over time. Scratches can also affect your car’s resale value and overall appearance. In coastal environments like Airlie Beach, salt in the air can speed up corrosion. Repairing minor damage early is often quicker and more affordable than waiting until rust or further issues develop.
