Well equipped, skilled and highly trained to repair all General Motors vehicles that require collision, scratch and dent repairs.

These are all traits of the dedicated men and women who work as GM Approved Body Repairers.

The winners of the Autobody Speed Shop and the Body Repairer categories of the GM Approved Body Repairer Program were recently awarded for their outstanding service delivery at the annual GM Body Repairer conference.

Donovin Soobramoney from Tutuka Motor Lab in Johannesburg and John Kirkpatrick from Imperial Autobody Jet Park in Boksburg were announced the respective winners for Autobody Speed Shop (non-structural) and Body Repairer (structural) categories.

It is the second year in a row that Tutuka Motor Lab was named the winner in that category.

According to Brian Olson, General Motors South Africa (GMSA) vice president of Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing, the body repairers are rated on quality of workmanship and service as well as exceeding customer expectations.

“Our Approved Body Repairer network of over 400 outlets, across Southern Africa is one of the largest networks of repairers in the automotive industry. They are an important partner in our commitment to every customer under the Complete Care banner. They are certified by General Motors to repair both in and out of warranty vehicles using genuine General Motors parts.  We believe that our customers should never be inconvenienced by body repairs to their vehicles. Our GM approved body repairers maintain the quality and efficiency required to deliver excellence,” said Olson.

The event was held on the MSC Sinfonia cruise from Cape Town to Durban. A total of 151 GM Approved Body Repairers, related suppliers and dealers formed part of the 421 delegates who attended the event.
