Turbo Panelbeaters

Our Story

Turbo Panelbeaters has been a bastion of auto body excellence since its establishment in 1983 by the
visionary, Mr. Lappies Labuschagne. Situated in the industrious heart of Witbank, our company was born
from a commitment to unmatched workmanship and client satisfaction — values that remain our driving
force to this day.


From our humble beginnings, we have grown in size and skill under the stable management of the
Labuschagne family. In July 2021, we embraced a new chapter of leadership with Nico Niernaber, a skilled
panelbeater and spray painter, whose tenure in the industry since 1979 has been characterized by passion,
precision, and a deep understanding of customer needs. The legacy is set to continue and expand with
the joining of Juandre Niernaber in 2023, bringing fresh perspectives and innovative approaches,
particularly in servicing the mining industry.

Our Commitment

At Turbo Panelbeaters, we understand that the vehicles we service are more than just machines — they are vital parts of our clients’ daily lives. That’s why we back our work with a written 3-year warranty on workmanship and a lifetime warranty on paintwork. Our mission is to build long-term relationships with our clients through the consistent delivery of superior service and support.

Our Values

Our foundational values are as robust as the metal we mold: integrity, excellence, and respect. These principles are at the core of every task we undertake, from simple dent removal to complex structural repairs. We conduct our business with honesty and pride, ensuring that every vehicle we touch reflects the high standards we uphold.

Our Vision

Our aim is to be the pinnacle of auto body repair, leading the industry not just in Witbank but beyond. As we continue to garner new approvals and expand our reach, we stay grounded in the ethos that started it all: quality work can only be done with honesty and pride.

Our People

The Turbo Panelbeaters family is more than just a team — it’s a collective of over 40 skilled professionals, each bringing their unique expertise to the table. We invest in regular, comprehensive training to ensure that every member of our staff, from our dedicated directors to our diligent administrative personnel, is equipped with the latest industry knowledge and techniques. Our commitment to growth and learning is unwavering, as evidenced by the regular training and accreditations from MERSETA-endorsed officials.
