Specialist Repair Certification

Classic Cars can sometimes come with classic problems. A lapsed registration or being ‘flagged at the border’ for corrosion or previous damage are situations where you may require the services of a Specialist Light Vehicle Repair Certifier to ensure that the vehicle is safe to be driven on New Zealand roads. 

At Waimak Classic Cars, we work closely with Marty Lane of Integrity Repair Certification. 

What Is Specialist Repair Certification?

Specialist Repair Certification focuses on inspecting and certifying repairs to significant structural damage, rust, or previous accident damage on a light vehicle to ensure it is restored back to a safe tolerance of its original factory manufacturing standard. It results in an LT308 record of determination. Specialist repair certification is particularly valuable for restoration documentation.

Marty is an NZTA appointed light vehicle Repair Certifier. 

With 50 years in the auto body industry, Marty covers all aspects of collision repairs and restoration for all pre-1990 and post-1990 light vehicles, as well as motorcycles.

An advanced trade-qualified panel beater, Marty has managed collision repair businesses, tutored apprentices with both ARA and SIT tertiary training institutions, and worked as a motor assessor for insurers in New Zealand, as well as in Australia as a litigated claims assessor.

Marty is also a trainer and technical specialist with I-CAR NZ and is a writer and developer of technical bulletins and repair procedures for the auto body repair industry. Marty is a born and bred Cantabrian and offers a prompt and professional service.
