Crews from seven fire engines fought the blaze through the night.
About 25 cars in the workshop were destroyed.
Fire Service senior station officer Mark Leonard said it was was too dangerous to enter the building so the focus was on stopping the fire spreading to surrounding businesses.
He said there were many explosions from paint, gas and vehicle fuel tanks, including those of cars being restored.
