Our Story
That's where we come in
Higgins Panel and Paint opened its doors in Frankton in 1974 — and we're still on the same Ellis Street site today.
It started the way good workshops do: with a set of tools, an eye for a straight line, and a refusal to hand a car back until it was right. More than fifty years on, that hasn't changed — John Rengelink has since acquired the business in 2023, yet still performs with the same hands-on standards the workshop was built on.
Everything stays in-house, from the first strip-down to the final cut and polish. Cars from the '70s and brand-new Japanese and European models get the same care — because the people doing the work have seen it all, and they take it personally.
