Proudly Offering Vehicle Collision Repair Services in Palmerston North Since 1981
Friend and Wistrand Panelbeaters has been proudly owned and operated by John Wistrand since 1981 and customers enjoy the personal service they receive from our long serving team. For example when you call our office you will be greeted by Kim Wistrand, John’s daughter, and when your vehicle is passed over to the workshop for repairs it will be overseen by our foreman Steven Olsen who has been with the firm for over 20 years. Being a local family business means that we care about the experience our customers have when they choose to bring their vehicle to our panel shop. John personally quality checks each vehicle when it is completed to ensure the highest standard of workmanship is maintained so your vehicle is returned back to you in pre-accident condition.
