Their approach is always tailored to the specific needs of each repair, considering factors like the age of the vehicle, the availability of parts, and the financial implications for the customer or insurance company.

One of the most notable advancements at Opperman-Thiels Auto Body Repairs is their use of the PPG MoonWalk System, a state-of-the-art automated paint mixing system. As the only company in Namibia utilising this technology, Opperman-Thiels Auto Body Repairs has set a new standard for precision and efficiency in paint application. The MoonWalk System minimises waste, maximises accuracy, and streamlines the entire paint mixing process, ensuring that every repair meets the highest quality standards.

In addition to its customer-focused services, Opperman-Thiels Auto Body Repairs is also committed to environmental sustainability. They exclusively use waterborne paints in their repair processes, which are less harmful to the environment compared to traditional solvent-based paints.
