Westerberg Panel Beaters: smash repairs and spray painting in Albany WA
Westerberg Panel Beaters is a smash repair and spray painting workshop at 22 Vine Street, Centennial Park, on the corner of Vine and Douglas Streets in Albany. We have been a family business here since 1956. If you need panel beaters in Albany, the office is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm and the number is (08) 9841 2744. We take both private work and insurance claims, and because we run the towing side of the business too, a damaged car can come to us and stay with us until it goes home.
A family workshop, established 1956
Westerbergs are a locally owned family business, and the same corner has been ours since 1956. Everything the job needs is on the one site: the tow, the panel work, the paint and the hire car all come from us rather than from three different places. That is the whole idea of the way we are set up, and it is the reason a car damaged badly enough that it cannot be driven never has to be handed between businesses.
The panel and paint work we do
Our team handles everything from a minor dent through to major collision damage, and the job is finished when the vehicle is back to its pre-accident condition rather than merely looking better than it did. We work on the major brands as well as 4x4s, commercial vehicles and light trucks.
What comes through the workshop
- Smash repairs: minor dents through to major collision damage, on cars, 4x4s, commercial vehicles and light trucks.
- Structural alignment: we run two of the latest Car-O-Liner measuring systems, calibrated to bring a vehicle back to factory specifications, so structural integrity is measured rather than guessed at.
- Spray painting: done at Central Spray Painters, our paint shop right next to the Albany workshop.
- Hire car: a vehicle to drive while yours is with us.
Every car gets a detailed inspection before it leaves, and we keep the communication fast and straightforward through the whole job so you know where the repair is up to.
Inside the paint shop
Central Spray Painters sits directly next to our Albany workshop, so a car does not travel between sites between the panel work and the paint. The booth runs two fully downdraft baking ovens and we spray Glasurit 90 Line paints. The work covers standard vehicles, 4x4s, commercial vehicles and light trucks, and it runs from a minor touch-up through to a complete colour change or bringing a vehicle’s original finish back.
The hire fleet
We keep a fleet of five vehicles for hire, regularly serviced and cleaned, for insurance claim customers in Albany and the Great Southern. They range from a compact car through to something roomier, so what you drive while your own car is in the shop can be matched to what you actually need it for.
Insurance work, quotes and getting your car to us
Whether the work is going through an insurer or you are paying for it yourself, the process is the same at our end: bring the car in, or call us and we will bring it in. The workshop is at 22 Vine Street, Centennial Park, Albany WA 6330, email reaches us at [email protected], and the office number is (08) 9841 2744 during business hours. The same number answers around the clock for towing, so if the car cannot be driven, ring it whatever the hour.
