Panel Beater Job Description

A panel beater is a person who changes a flat vehicle back to its pre-damaged condition.

The panel beater’s role is to assess the extent of the damage and determine if the vehicle can be repaired.

Vehicle manufacturers always state that their vehicles are repairable.

However, when a vehicle suffers from a serious dent or scratch, the panel beater’s job is to determine whether it is repairable.

If it is repairable, the panel beater has to resurface the damaged area to make it flush with the rest of the vehicle.
