Family-Owned &
Christchurch Proud
Proudly serving the Papanui community with quality panel beating and paintwork since 1988.

A Local Legacy Built on Trust
Hy-Class Paint & Panel was established in 1988 right here in Papanui, Christchurch. For over three decades we've been a family-owned business, dedicated to providing exceptional vehicle repairs with a personal touch.
Dean has owned and run the workshop from day one, from the same site on Vagues Road. That continuity is the whole point: honest work, fair pricing and treating every customer like a neighbour, done the same way for nearly four decades.
