Being involved in an accident is stressful enough, so choosing the right repairer shouldn't be. When searching for an auto body specialist on the Panel Beater Directory, you need to know exactly who you can trust with your vehicle.

That is why we introduced the blue Verified Badge.

When you see this badge on a panel beater's profile, it means the business has successfully passed our stringent 6-Point Verification Checklist. We have done the heavy lifting to ensure that the shop you choose is established, transparent, and fully equipped to handle your repairs.

Here is exactly what a Verified Badge guarantees:

  1. Verified Industry Credentials Quality repairs require specialized training and equipment. A verified shop must hold and publicly display a minimum of three active factory, insurance, or industry service approvals. This ensures the business is recognized by major automotive and insurance brands.
  2. Documented Workshop Quality You shouldn't have to guess what a facility looks like before handing over your keys. Verified shops are required to maintain an active public portfolio with a minimum of three high-quality gallery images, allowing you to inspect their workshop, equipment, and repair standards upfront.
  3. Direct & Reliable Communication In an emergency, you need answers immediately. Verified profiles must have an active, tested primary business telephone number published, guaranteeing that you can reach their customer service or dispatch team without delay.
  4. Real & Navigable Locations Every verified shop has its physical address mapped with precise GPS coordinates. This guarantees the facility physically exists and allows you to seamlessly generate accurate Google Maps directions directly to their front door.
  5. Established Brand Identity Trust starts with professionalism. Verified panel beaters must operate under a recognizable brand identity, complete with an official, high-resolution business logo rather than a generic placeholder.
  6. Active Directory Standing The badge is exclusively reserved for premium, active directory members. Verified shops actively manage their profiles, update their information, and remain accountable to the motoring public.
