Automotive business in Christchurch

“Received top class service when I needed a couple of new tyres for my car yesterday. Very accommodating team, the work was done quickly and efficiently and I'll definitely be making them my "go to" place for WOFs and tyres going forwards!!”

“I changed my oil for the first time today and Kali at Repco could not have been more helpful, I told her I needed a new filter + oil and within 5 minutes I was out the door with exactly what I needed! Wonderful service Ill be coming here from now on :)”

“Great coffee here! Can't believe my taste buds had such a good experience.”

“We had a great experience with Ace rentals. We have tried them in Australia many times but this was first time with ace rentals New Zealand. Their services have really impressed us. Firstly shuttle from airport is so easy and quick to book, and you can book in advance via website. Pick up process is very good and smooth and they had already got our ready with all add ons we requested. On the trip we had got a chip on screen, and we got it checked as well. Then we got a invoice from ac rentals which was less than half of what was quoted by three different repair guys. And ace rentals dealt with it very smoothly with no inconvenience at our end. I’m always gonna use ace car rentals in New Zealand in future. They have my satisfaction”

“From start to finish our car rental experience with Apex was outstanding. Communications were excellent, the shuttle service was prompt and the pick up and drop-off was easy. We would definitely hire through them again!”

“Thank you for all the complimentary and the odd not so complimentary reviews as it helps us to learn and provide a better service for you. Id like to clarify the two negative reviews below. A) Yes I did hire a sub-contractor to complete mechanical work in my workshop, on an as and when needed bases. This sub-contractors is no longer utilized by Cactus Cars. However if he chose to take on work for someone else on the weekend at his home around the time he sub-contracted to me and others and the job didn’t go to plan. This would be his business and has nothing to do with me as he wasn’t contracted by Cactus Cars to complete this job. and to be clear Tahlia, your vehicle has never been to by business. B) Your van was towed into us (Not starting) We spent about ½ checking your van and identified the plug leads were not transferring enough power to the spark plugs. You were given a price and agreed to have them replaced. You then asked if this would guarantee to fix it and were told “hopefully” this will be the only issue but couldn’t guarantee it. The plug leads were supplied & changed. The van spun over fast but still wouldn’t fire up. A local auto sparky was called in and was unable to identify any issues The customer was asked if they would like us to investigate further and we were told they were not prepared to pay us to investigate further. The customer was charged for the new plug leads, auto sparkys & our time. The customer then asked if a tow start would work and I advised not to as we didn’t know what the problem is. Later that day the customer decided to try and tow start the van, something broke and the engine seized . To be clear • We have no control over what a sub-contractor does when he’s not sub-contracting to us. • If a customer chooses not to take our advice and something goes wrong. We can’t be held responsible.”

“Perry was great to deal with, cheerful and I appreciated the communication and the offer to do the service. He came across very knowledgeable and I appreciated the note about the DM flywheel and the confirmation that the clutch was still in good condition. It's good to know your car is in the hands of experts who know these vehicles well. Also Marty has helped us out in the past supplying a couple of bolts free of charge which was appreciated. Cheers”

“Driver Neil from Parks Towing, Owaka Rd, towed my vehicle home this morning. He was totally professional and did an outstanding job. Really appreciated. Thank you, Neil, for your great customer, driving, and towing skills.”

“They were busy and they got the 1 and a half hour wait down to 45. MInutes, very friendly and helpful”

“Great place to find parts for your car, it was bigger than I realized. They have a great system on their website where you find your model car and what part you want. They even tell you what parts have already been taken out of the car, so you don't make a wasted trip out there. Make sure you wear decent footwear to protect your feet from things on the ground and dropping parts on your foot like I did, but thankfully I had my steel cap boots on. The staff are really helpful too and friendly. Remember to bring your tools with you :)”

Glad i got a 3rd opinion! Now all my external drive lights go and can take for wof.
