Recommended Transmission services every 80km-100km and referred to one that can check. Informative at end with a few questions. Didnt feel I was being a burden to them. Recommended.”

“I was helped by the most amazing lady Ange who was so understanding and went out her way to assist me. I was very stressed and worried about an engine light that had come on. I am a rural customer- living 1 & a half hours away. I had a very busy child with me and once they had ascertained what was wrong with my car they were able to order the part and repair it super efficiently. I cannot recommend this dealership enough and will be returning for any repair needed and to purchase my next vehicle.”

“Highly recommend this company, I had a charging issue with my truck, Paul (manager) had one of his workers diagnosis the issue straight away, he spent approximately half an hour checking and identifying the issue, there was no charge for the diagnosis, (rarely seen these days), HDL were able to sorce replacement parts instantly and had my truck booked into the workshop the next day, I also had HDL look at another electrical problem, and this was also corrected and truck is running better than ever, Jacob who worked on my truck both times really did a thorough job and his work is impeccable, definitely an asset to HDL auto's , thanks team much appreciated...John”

“James is the Stereo Man!!! Stopped in to have a look at a couple options and wow. James shared so much knowledge and experience that was awesome. It wasn’t about spending a crazy amount. It was about building a system that would work for myself and what I was wanting. Thank you I have recommended a number of people since my visit the other day and will send as many as I can. See you soon for the purchase. Cheers.”

“Curious about why I chose this mechanic? Just take a peek at the owner's response to a review by someone named Jacob Peterson. Like many, I comb through reviews, but what truly catches my eye is how businesses respond to criticism. The owner’s reply to Jacob was spot-on—direct, precise, and incredibly well-articulated. As a PhD researcher, I have a penchant for strong arguments and am always impressed by a well-crafted response. This one exceeded my expectations, convincing me I'd found the right place for my vehicle's Warrant of Fitness (WOF). Did I pass the WOF? Unfortunately, no sir. Still they get a 5 star rating. I am gonna get it soon though. Steve, smart, precise and talented mechanic, who also has an infectious smile, carefully explained the three reasons my car didn't make the cut: 1. My headlights need polishing, 2. My fog lights should be switched from LED to halogen, and 3. My rear number plate requires reinforcement. However, this meticulous attention to detail and their transparent honesty is exactly why I trust them. It’s not about making an extra buck—they're already quite busy. I wholeheartedly recommend them, and I've already spread the word within my community. So, if you notice the queue getting longer, remember that it's the quality that draws the crowd. Just as honey draws bees, their worth is undeniable!!”

“These guys were amazing, I had a problem with my brake rotors that popped up heading to Christchurch from Southland, a quick phone call to the Pit Stop in Dunedin and they squeezed us in. Replaced the rotors at an amazing price and had us back on the road highly recommend fantastic service.”

“Nathan and his team are fantastic. Sorted a blown fog light for me as well as figured out from my description of shuddering breaks, that the calipers needed changing. Great service, perspective, and attitude. Highly recommend!”

“In the middle of his busy schedule Lee was kind enough and repaired our tailgate lock problem with more than a fair price. Can't do anything but recommend him!”
