Bridgman Street Panelbeaters
About
Established in 1956 by Lerwick Johnston, Bridgman Street Panelbeaters has operated in Kensington for over half a century, building a reputation for meticulous collision repair and restoration work. The family-founded business initially focused on panelbeating before expanding to offer spray-painting, chassis straightening, and mechanical services under a single roof. The workshop handles damage repair across all vehicle makes and models, from minor dents to major structural work. Their team manages insurance claims processing with all major insurers, reducing complexity for customers navigating the repair process. Beyond private vehicle repairs, the operation maintains an active fleet management division servicing substantial commercial vehicle fleets throughout Dunedin and wider Otago. Customer testimonials highlight attention to detail and hospitable service, with clients noting the comprehensive finish applied to restored vehicles. The business remains independently operated from its Bridgman Street location, where the iconic VW Victor—named after founder Lerwick's father and brother—has stood as a landmark since 1964.
