Auto repair shops in New Zealand

“Danny & co are experienced professionals. I’ve been going for WoFs and car repairs for 8 years and always find them skilled & upfront with advice. 100% genuine and highly recommendable.”

“Incredibly helpful and friendly service! The team went above and beyond to assist us—asking around to help find our tyre model and doing everything they could to brighten our day, even in the pouring rain. Truly appreciated their kindness and effort. Thank you so much!”

“I deeply appreciate John the Service Managers invaluable help throughout a very challenging process that I had with a 2nd hand car I bought elsewhere. He helped me tremendously with patience, clear explanations and dogged investigation regarding the mechanical issue I had. If you are not mechanically savvy, it is very scary trying to find someone to trust. John is knowledgeable and can be trusted. Renault Auckland did a great job and gave my car back nice and clean. Thank you”

“RSE did an excellent job sleuthing why my wireless caravan cameras weren’t working. Due to incorrect installation of new batteries by Jayco some months earlier. Fantastic service, great team!”

“We recently had our car repaired at Superior Automotive Service in Mount Roskill, and the experience was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we reached out, their communication was clear, professional, and reassuring. They went above and beyond to diagnose and fix the issue quickly, ensuring our car was back on the road in no time. Their attention to detail and dedication to quality work truly set them apart. What impressed us the most was their outstanding customer service. They kept us updated every step of the way, explained everything in simple terms, and made sure we felt confident in the repairs. Thank you for such honesty, transparency, and genuine care. Thank you Ben for going above and beyond to fix the issue! Highly recommended!”

“Good service, fast and well verse on their technical know how. Professional in dealings and their place is much cleaner this time. Highly recommended!”

“Prompt, efficient and professional service. No fuss: fixed little extras, blown bulb etc; advised if anything bigger needed attention.”

“Great, Friendly Mechanic. I have been taking my Nissan here for years, and i always get great service from Sammy. He always has a smile on his face and will go the extra mile for his customers. Reasonable prices and always puts safety first. Highly Recommended!”

“Professional and prompt service on my old M3. Honest upfront pricing and had fantastic experience and would recommend.”

“Best service and workmanship, plus your car comes back looking better than when you collected it from the dealership. Brand new and sparkling clean inside and out. Thanks James and the team. Support local and small businesses, you won't be disappointed.”

“I go there for WOF and I like the fact you don't have to wait for too long, and the prices are good. So overall I'm happy customer. I think communication could have been better, as sometimes I don't understand the mechanic..”

“I was recommended to use Nam and Absolute by my brother in law (he is a very shrewd judge of mechanics) and I have also been very happy. I had purchased an older Subaru and took it to Nam for a check which he did very fast and thoroughly. Since then I have been back several times to have servicing done, as well as Oil change and general maintenance, I have always been very happy with the service and the price but the main thing I feel about Nam is that he is genuine and honest. That goes a long way when dealing with someone who is looking after my car. I now highly recommend him also to anyone looking for a great contact to maintain and service your car. Keep up the great work!!!”

“Reputable, Honest, and Passionate – Highly Recommend I’ve seen some negative reviews about SpeedScience, but my experience has been the complete opposite. From day one, everything I’ve ordered has been smooth and hassle-free. When a PLM Superlow Seat Rail Kit arrived with a bent bracket, they sorted it out right away. Later on, I had an issue with 2 front brake rotors (after holding onto them for a while during a full brake rebuild and upgrade + master cyl upgrade). I asked to return them, and they accepted and refunded me—no drama at all Since then, I’ve spent a lot with them across 2024 and 2025, and they’ve consistently been professional and transparent. One part was air-freighted, and when I asked for an update, they told me exactly where it was in the process. Their communication is excellent—via email, their website, and even over the phone. If you're unsure about something, their technical knowledge and support are top-tier. Theyre clearly passionate about cars, and it shows not just in their service but also in the welcoming and friendly events they host for the community. They’re a reputable company I fully trust, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in NZ that needs parts.”

“I bought a mower from Ellmers around the turn of the century and they’ve kept it running ever since! Always great service, fair prices, and super helpful whenever the mower’s feeling a bit sulky. Never once made me wish for a new one and I can’t recommend them enough!”

“I would highly recommend MJ Motors to anyone looking for servicing your vehicle. Recently we called in to book headlight bulb changed and clear the fog on the headlamps. We were able to get an appointment quickly and the service was amazing and got the car back same evening. The price range was very affordable - we were quoted ridiculous amounts by other providers. Very happy with the service and have decided to do our yearly car service with them moving forward”

“I recently purchased a battery from TBS Services for my Nissan Navara, and I'm extremely impressed! The staff was knowledgeable and helped me choose the perfect battery. Installation was quick, and my truck is running smoother than ever. Excellent service and highly recommend TBS for any vehicle needs.”

“The owner provided excellent service at a very affordable and reasonable price—brake light replacement, WOF, D engine oil change, and even shared some great tips. I'm very satisfied”

“Bad reviews are from people who take their 20 year old family SUV to a BUSY, high end performance and tuning workshop and expect to be treated as if their car is the most prized possession in the shop, (Not to say they'd give it anything less than a quality, well done job). Steve and his team took great care of my newly purchased MazdaSpeed3 and went above and beyond to look and test for any abnormalities (even though I was probably the least interesting car they examined). With the limited space and the many cars they have on their hands they were surprisingly efficient, informative, and solved the issues I was concerned about. Couldn't recommend enough if there's an issue you're experiencing that's too annoying, complex, or time consuming to resolve at home; Or simply need a quality service or tune... 5 stars for RE Sinclair. Will be seeing you blokes again soon for a few mods and a tune!”

“Had a quick visit and the mechanic managed to refit a new bulb for my headlight in a flash. Saved my day.”

“I have to give a massive thanks to Keith and his entire team . They went above and beyond to work tirelessly (2 weeks) on my car to diagnose what was going wrong and then gave honest opinions on my options going forward. They are extremely diligent and trustworthy, and their pricing is excellent. I was recommended Motorworks by a friend and as long as Keith and his team are running the business, I won't be taking my cars anywhere else now. Thanks so much guys, and Wendy for being warm and welcoming.”

“Fast efficient service. Repairs done well and kept informed the whole time.”

“Do you know how good you have to be to give a collision centre a 5 star review? I had my car stolen and Michael was an absolute legend at helping out once it was recovered. Great communication with every member of the team. Step by step helped me through it even though I don't even live in chch. Not to mention I didn't even have a choice to go with them. They are the preferred company with my insurer and I don't intend to be a repeat customer but they went above and beyond. Could not recommend enough. If my car gets nicked again I hope it ends up there but also that my car doesn't ever get nicked again!”

“Highly recommended! They are fast, honest, reliable and go above and beyond at a low cost. Tracy (the receptionist) is amazing, so helpful and welcoming. Definitely my go to mechanic, better than others in the area who mucked me around and made me feel intimidated. The mechanics are very knowledgeable in what they do. Definitely worth the trip from Christchurch city as well for excellent, professional services”

“Very helpful staff, exceptional service. Would highly recommend! These guys came the rescue when I broke down near their workshop and didn't charge me anything.”

“Riverlea panel & paint staff and Sam are very friendly and professional. He was quick to give me a quote, and the price was reasonable. They fixed my car exactly how I wanted it. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends!”

“Great service and prices best in Bay of plenty won't be beaten”

“We are new to the area and this place was recommended to us by our neighbour. Very happy with the service and all the staff are very pleasant. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. Having a loan car service is a bonus. Thanks to Phil and his team”

“Great service, especially the two ladies on the front desk”
