Our Principal Facility is truly unique to the industry and something we are very proud of. For some time before its establishment in 2002 we had recognized the need for a collision repair facility in Auckland that could be comparable with the best in the world.

With the rapid advancements in global automotive engineering and technologies it became evident that to be in sync with the world’s leading manufacturers it was time to take the next step in the collision repair evolutional ladder. Rather than a typical panel shop where cars are shuffled back and forward, and in and out of ovens all day, this facility is designed more like the original manufacturers production line, in a free flowing, clean, spacious environment. Here there is no shuffling around of vehicles and no wandering around the workshop to grab equipment. Every man has at least a two car station with all the necessary equipment he needs and the next man involved in the repair process is located to the side of him. The result is that each employee can see at a glance where each vehicle is up to and everyone understands that the work is only as good as the last mans job. This ultimately creates an environment of healthy competition where everyone is determined to hand his work on as perfect for the next process, the result is a perfect job from start to finish which is something we pride ourselves on.

Our Auckland central Cook St branch is superbly placed for city based executives that require the convenience of a repair centre that is within easy walking distance of the CBD and all its amenities. Although the city branch is standard in size, there is nothing standard about their equipment and experience, incorporating all the latest technologies and methodologies of its big brother - the Principal Facility. With our branch manager Glenn Mclaughlin at the helm, this shop is a definitive example of our APP culture and with a highly motivated team that hits the ground running every morning, we will stop at nothing to get the job done, efficiently, meticulously and perfect every time. These guys are certainly a hard act to follow and are the current holders of the Oswald Shop Challenge Cup.
