WHERE DID IT ALL START?

GENERAL SPRAY PAINTERS & MOTOR REPAIRS CC T/A GENERAL PANELBEATERS & SPRAY PAINTERS  is a family owned business, which was established in February 1978 at 395 Berg Street, by Mr Chadaya Odayan and his lovely wife Mrs Mildred Odayan.

Mr Odayan and his wife started off from humble beginnings with merely four staff members. The existing building was commissioned and built in 1995, with the most modern features and facilities – set up for both clients and staff.

CHADAYA ODAYAN

Mr Chadaya Odayan, founder of General Spray Painters and Motor Repairs CC.

Mr Chadaya Odayan comes from a family of mechanics and auto body repairers. He started off working at a panelbeating workshop in Durban. He later qualified as an auto body repairer. His passion for the industry lead him to many successful and thriving years in the industry. He always makes sure that he is one step ahead of the game, by always being up-to-date with the latest technology and industry trends. He is certainly not scared to get his hands dirty and no job is too big or too small for him.  He comes highly recommended with vast experience.

THERGRAN ODAYAN

In 1992, Thergran Odayan, who after completing his NTC3, joined the family business. His pass rate was an impressive 95% from Olifantsfontein. After almost 26 years in the business, Thergran is now recognized as one of the finest Spraypainters in the Pietermaritzburg and Midlands region. Sheer hard work, training, hands on experience and countless extra hours has paid off the dividends.

Thergran has a keen eye for class and distinction. His warm approach and demeanor attract clients to our workshop. Clients are guaranteed excellent service where he is concerned. He adds personality to each and every vehicle that he so passionately works on. From the mixing of the paints, to the matching of the colours, which results in a spectacular paint finish. One cannot deny the excellent workmanship that he produces. With all these qualities he possesses, it is actually not hard to see that he has followed well in the footsteps of his dad, Mr Chadaya Odayan.

OUR VISION

Our vision is simple:

To provide the best possible service to our clients at all times and to always ensure that our clients are satisfied with the service we provide. 

To make this vision a reality, we have at our disposal – trained, motivated and knowledgeable staff members, who like us, believe that a vehicle can only be handed over to a client once it is absolutely perfect.

We have what one would call an “OPEN DOOR POLICY” to all our clients, corporate bodies and insurance companies.
