Meet Glen Collinson
Glen started at this workshop as an apprentice 32 years ago, bought the business, and has run it for 25 years. It's the only job he's ever had.
A panel beater by trade, Glen says the best part of the job is the people. He admits he's terrible with names, but he remembers every car, rego and face, and plenty of customers have become long-term relationships. Some of the team have worked with him for years.
He joined Fix Auto Collision because the way work reaches a repairer has changed, and he believes you need to be part of something bigger than yourself to keep moving forward. For Glen, it protects his own livelihood and his team's jobs, and the team have backed it from the day he told them.
Away from the workshop, Glen races cars. He says racing and repairs are both high-risk for opposite reasons: you have to be sharp, focused and on your game all the time.

Questions people ask us
Can I bring my car to Fix Auto Hamilton South whoever I'm insured with?
Yes. Let your insurer know you'd like Fix Auto Hamilton South to repair your car, and we'll work with them on the assessment and repair. If you're not sure how to start, call us on 07 847 5407 and we'll walk you through it.
Do I need an appointment?
It helps. Call ahead or send photos through the estimate form so we're ready for you. You can also come to 11–13 Grasslands Place between 7:30am and 4:30pm, Monday to Friday, and the team will take a look at the damage.
Do you offer courtesy cars?
Yes. Please check with us when you book for current availability.
Can you help with my insurance claim?
Yes. We can help from the moment you have the accident, from putting in your claim to filling out the claim form and sending it off. If your car can't be driven, our tow truck can come and pick it up. Call us on 07 847 5407, 24 hours a day for towing.
Do you repair trucks and heavy machinery?
Yes. Cars are our main work, but we also repair trucks and equipment, and we've worked on bulldozers, excavators and tractors. The workshop has the space for bigger jobs that many repairers can't take on.
How long will my collision repair take?
It depends on the damage and the parts your car needs. We'll give you an estimated timeframe with your estimate, and let you know if anything changes.
Can I get an estimate from photos?
Yes. Upload photos through the estimate form and we'll come back to you with next steps. Photos give us a head start, and we'll confirm the estimate once we've seen the car in person.
Where are you?
We're at 11–13 Grasslands Place, at the southern end of Hamilton near Waikato Hospital, on the outskirts of Frankton. Customers come to us from across Hamilton and from Raglan, Cambridge, Morrinsville and Matamata.
