Des-Marie Victor from My Paneel Kloppe

Loading player...
Des-Marie Victor’s love affair with the motor industry began as a child on the farm, helping her grandfather restore vintage VW Beetles and Kombis. By her teens, she was devouring copies of Auto Trader, turning a passion into a lifelong career when a McCarthy Toyota manager recognized her energy and offered her a job on the spot. Within two years, she was appointed Sales Manager at Fury Honda & Suzuki.

Just over two years ago, Des-Marie established My Paneel Klopper in Shakashead, rapidly scaling it into one of only three approved collision repair facilities in the area. Fully contracted with major short-term insurers and boasting an unbroken 5-star customer rating, Des-Marie is the ultimate hands-on owner—personally mixing paint, matching colors, and delivering precision and care to the North Coast community.
