Prima Panelbeaters has been a cornerstone of quality auto body repair in Polokwane since May 1993. Founded by Neels Zeelie, the business began with a clear vision — to offer reliable, honest, and expert panel beating services to the local community.
Over the years, the company has grown into a family-driven operation, with Neels later joined by his two sons, Armandt and Ruan, who share his passion for excellence and commitment to service.
With over 30 years of experience in the industry, Prima Panelbeaters has built a solid reputation for delivering top-quality workmanship with a personal touch. What started as a humble workshop has evolved into a fully equipped facility, capable of handling everything from minor dents and cosmetic repairs to major structural damage and full resprays.
As a family-run business, we believe in doing things the right way — with honesty, precision, and pride in every job we take on.
Choosing who to trust with your vehicle is a big decision — and at Prima Panelbeaters, we take that trust seriously. Here’s why our customers keep coming back and recommending us:
