Mike and Damien were amazing. They were extremely helpful, with Mike going out of his way to drop me off and he even offered to pick me up. I was told that it would take two days, and after two days, I had my car back. The work done was excellent, and the vehicle came back sparkling clean as if it rolled off the showroom floor.Posted on Google Simphiwe KhumaloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

As a widow, it was quite daunting trying to find an honest, reliable and competitively priced business to fix the dent and damaged paintwork on my car. So many companies quoted me but I chose Ethekweni Central Panel Beaters not only after reading positive feedback on Google Reviews, but Damian, the owner seemed genuinely honest and not someone just out to make money out of people. I was not disappointed and left with my car looking amazing. Thank you Damian and team.Posted on Google Elvin MoodleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
