The Goldstar story 

Cars are our passion, not just our business; so you can expect Goldstar service when you trust us with your repair, respray or custom build.

Goldstar is where its owner and manager, Claude Manning, lives out his passion for cars as a self-made entrepreneur who has worked as an automotive industry professional for over 25 years. As a committed auto enthusiast and skilled tradesman himself, he appreciates the beauty and significance of a vehicle to its owner. With this motivation, Claude's concept for Goldstar is that it is more than just another panel and paint shop but rather a place where he can serve his insurance-based, corporate and private customers with a level of personal care rarely experienced in the industry. Claude's mission is also, to create a space where auto enthusiasts can share their passion for cars and connect as a community to help and inspire each other on life's journey. This is made real through hosting cruise meets to bring people together; often with the purpose of supporting individuals or community causes in need. Read more about this in the 'Community'.   

Claude understands the automotive repair industry; has developed a credible network of business suppliers and supporters; and keeps up to date with the latest technologies, innovations and trends in the exciting world of automobiles. Those who know him, know that his commitment to his customers is not driven by profit but by a sincere willingness to achieve genuine customer relationships, based on total customer contentment and a true sense of trust. However big or small your repair or custom needs are, Claude would be glad to help you figure it out and get you happily on the road again.

Goldstar is backed by a skilled and professional team, a fully equipped workshop incorporating updated industry technologies and practices; and appropriately tested and approved insurance standards. We offer a complete level of service, centred on the utmost care of our customers and their vehicles - it's the service we prefer to call the 'Goldstar service'! So browse our site and other social networks to get a sense of who we are; comment on any of your socials using #Goldstar to link your pics and/or comments.
