“I wish to express how pleased we are with the quality of repairs completed at your Wagga shop.

Unless you were told previously you would not be aware of the damage caused two and a half years ago and attempted by two previous repairers, one of which was a reputable repairer.

The vehicle, an Adria motorhome, is very well repaired ….. Thank you very much.”

TOM MARRIOTT – PRIVATE CUSTOMER 

“I spent 38 years in the motor industry from Manufacturer to retail dealing with all types of management in the Smash repair industry. 

I must compliment your team at your Tamworth Branch. Rick, Graham Nash and Gary are great representatives for your organization. They are responsive, do what they say they will do and always with a good attitude. So thank you for such a good team in our town of Tamworth.”

NORM DEZIUS – PRIVATE CUSTOMER 

“Since we have been using Jamie and the Royans team for our powder coating, they have grown to become a critical part of our manufacturing process. 

They have pushed the boundaries of what we can achieve with powder, while maintaining their consistently high level of quality. This has meant significant added value for our customers.”

NATHAN BARKER (MANAGING DIRECTOR) – SHEETMETAL CRAFT

“I had the pleasure of working with Jamie and the team at Royans on a series of Māori sculptures. 

Their dedication was outstanding—they went above and beyond to perfect the colours and put in extra hours to meet an incredibly tight deadline. 

The results exceeded my expectations, and their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction was clear every step of the way. I highly recommend them for any project that demands precision and reliability.”

STEVE SOLOMON (ARTIST) – SOLOMON DOWN SOUTH WHAKAIRO   

“Ever since Transvisual (… the Royans Group) was established in Wiri, we have been using their team to paint or repaint our fleet vehicles.

From smaller jobs like adding truck cab stripe work, or touching up chassis steelwork, up to full cab and chassis strip down and repainting on several of our refurbishment projects, nothing has been beyond the abilities of the team at Royans.….  We were able to take advantage of the newly formed graphics department and utilise the one-stop shop ability to our advantage, undertaking a full cab repaint and graphic application to a refurbished 2008 K108 Kenworth.

This was the first of many subsequent vehicles to receive the full treatment …

Logan and the team at Royans are great to work with, and are always happy to help organise, plan, and undertake the next fleet imaging project for Jackson Roadhaul.”

KEVIN JACKSON – JACKSON ROADHAUL   

“We had an exceptional experience working with the Graphics department at Royans. Logan and his team delivered top-notch service, demonstrating creativity, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality. Their designs exceeded our expectations and were completed on time. We highly recommend them for any project.”

“Working with the Royans team has been a fantastic experience. From day one, nothing has been an issue; our calls are always answered promptly, and their commitment to excellent service is evident. We’re currently in the process of re-branding the entire fleet with new branding, the Royans team have been our one stop shop for the graphics and fleet imaging. The Royans team have been incredibly accommodating throughout the project. Their professionalism and dedication to ensuring everything runs smoothly have made this transition seamless.  I couldn’t be happier with the results and the level of service we’ve received.”

BRUCE SEAY – SEAY DISTRIBUTION LTD

” 1. Staff are super friendly, and always offer solutions to solve the problems other than just saying ‘there is a problem’.

2. Consistency of vibrant colours help to stand out from the crowd, every car have the exactly the same colour on the street, regardless the size and year of the car, they all look super good.

3. Always on time for delivery as promised, it helps me to plan ahead with the franchise set up after the signage. 

4. Quick response on email and phone calls for bookings and updates.

5. Good Quality and excellent workmanship, the first vehicle that was done & is still in good shape was done in 2015…

6. Fair Price, I would say it is a big save on the prices if you compare the quality to similar prices on the market.”

I would like to thank you and your staff and in particular Grant Nathan for a job well done. The truck looks brand new workmanship is just great. This was a difficult rebuild but nothing was too much trouble and I would certainly recommend your team to anyone looking for major work to be done to heavy duty trucks. 

Thank you for a job well done.’

“Royans have always really looked after us. We had a bad accident a few months ago and we weren’t sure what was going on, but Royans people got there and constantly communicated with us. They always bend over backwards to help us out.”

Glenn Collins – Metropolitan Express Transport Services

“I have used Royans for more than 20 years for minor repairs to major clean up and recovery. It is truly a one phone call and Royans take care informing the insurance company, recovery and clean up in what is a very stressful time for the operator. The value and workmanship in my opinion is first class whenever we have had vehicles that needed repair.”
