Car Body Repair Sunshine Coast
Auto Emporium handles the full spectrum of car body repairs at our Caloundra West studio — from minor bumper scuffs to complete resprays. Whether it's hail damage, a car park knock, or Queensland UV eating your clear coat, we restore the finish rather than replace the panel where possible.
"Auto Emporium performed a tremendous job in repairing the cracked flaring on my motorcycle. They were the only company capable of repairing the advanced plastics used on performance motor vehicles."

"Best panel beater on the coast by far. Robin went the extra mile to get my car that was heavily damaged all fixed up and very fair pricing."
Why Choose Body Repair Services From Auto Emporium
Body repair quality is invisible when done correctly — and obvious when it isn't. A shade difference, a repair line, clear coat peeling eighteen months later: these are the outcomes of rushed work and skipped preparation.
Auto Emporium handles the full scope of cosmetic body repairs at Caloundra West — stone chips to full resprays — using professional colour-matching technology and consistent preparation standards across every job.
On the Sunshine Coast, salt air turns bare paint into a rust problem faster than most expect. A chip left untreated near the coast behaves very differently to the same chip in Brisbane.
- Bumper repairs from $200: Stone chips, scuffs, cracks, and impact damage repaired and colour-matched — most jobs without insurance or panel shop lead times
- Alloy wheel repair from $200 per wheel: Kerb rash and scuff damage restored to as-new condition, with custom respray options available
- Headlight restoration: 2K cured hard coat process with a 3-year warranty — the only method that lasts in Queensland UV
- Full resprays: Closed-door from $10,000, open-door from $20,000 — strip-down preparation and professional refinishing for results built to last
"Great service and repairs. I had a dent in the cab of my 2021 f250. 2 other local panel shops didn’t want to repair it as the f250 is all aluminium and was all to hard."

Frequently Asked Questions
We specialise in panel beating, cosmetic damage repair, and custom paintwork — from minor car park dents and bumper scuffs to complete custom resprays. We focus on precision bodywork and paint correction to restore or transform your vehicle.
No. We operate as an independent, private-work body shop. This lets us avoid insurance claim waiting times and focus entirely on high-end custom paintwork, private panel beating, and cosmetic repairs directly for our clients.
Pricing depends on the extent of damage and finish required. Because we don't deal with insurance claim structures, we offer competitive, transparent out-of-pocket pricing. Contact us for a free, no-obligation estimate.
Absolutely. Minor scrapes, shopping trolley dents, and bumper scuffs are our bread and butter. We offer expert scratch repair and dent removal to restore your vehicle's factory finish — no full panel replacement needed.
Yes — custom paintwork is a specialty. We offer bespoke resprays and unique finishes beyond standard factory colour matching. Whether you're restoring a classic or modifying your daily driver, we can deliver a show-quality result.
All repairs are completed at our fully equipped Caloundra West facility. Professional panel beating and paintwork require a controlled, dust-free environment — something mobile services simply can't provide for a flawless, lasting result.
Because our bays aren't tied up with insurance work, we offer faster turnaround than most crash repairers. Minor scratch and dent repairs often complete within a few days; larger jobs or full resprays are scheduled based on project complexity. We'll give you a clear timeline with your quote.
