I don't think 'platesmith' quite cuts it here. This is a garage employee or person who works with cars in some respect. Clearly, automotives is not my strong suit. ;)

panel beater
This also gives a lot of hits, but I haven't checked them.
This is a specialist in beating out dents where possible, and Pernille's suggestion is someone who does many other jobs as well - replacing panels or bodywork where necessary.

vehicle body worker
Or auto body worker, motor body worker...
Plenty of Google hits.
You might be able to think of something better. In any case, it's a person who works in a body workshop (not as strange as it sounds when it belongs in an automobile context!)
Hope this helps.
