CAR RESTORATION EXPERTS

Welcome to Mat's Rod Shop, a small family-owned workshop in Noosaville

delivering honest, high-quality restoration and repair work across the Sunshine Coast.

Backed by over 25 years of hands-on experience and formal trade school training, we take real pride in offering genuine workmanship,

fair prices, and the kind of care you only get from a family-run business.

Whether you're chasing a full ground-up build, a flawless respray, or just want that creeping rust gone for good — your car will be in trusted hands from start to finish. We work on all makes and models, from classic Holdens and Fords to muscle cars, hot rods, and daily drivers.

WHAT WE OFFER

Our services include rust removal and rust protection,

panel beating, dent repairs, cut and polish, smash repair, and metal fabrication.

We also take on Shannon's Insurance work for those who want peace of mind knowing their car is being looked after by the right people.

At Mats Rod Shop,

we don’t do shortcuts — we do it once,

and we do it right.

RUST REPAIRS

We remove rust the right way — no filler shortcuts here. Whether it's minor surface rust or full panel rot, we cut it out, weld it fresh, and treat it properly so it stays gone. From daily drivers to vintage Holdens and Fords, we bring the metal back to life.

PANEL WORK

Dents, damage or body issues? We handle panel beating, repairs, and replacements to get your car straight again. We work on classics and muscle cars, but also take on modern smash repair and Shannons Insurance jobs — done right the first time.
