Automotive business in New Zealand

“Been coming here for over six years. Service is outstanding and they always go above and beyond. Highly recommend”

“Professional and quick repair. Great quoting and no surprises! Got my car rubbing like new again! Cheers team”

“Top team - fantastic service. Many thanks to you all.”

“Excellent friendly service, we had no idea he would be able to get the dents out, you can hardly tell where the damage was now. Highly recommended.”

“All my cars were wof and serviced at nostalgia motors. Which has since been shut down. Gray street motors and pertucularly Craig were recommended to me by one of the old nostalgia staff. And oh boy, they weren't wrong. Craig is an absolute top lad. I took my freshly build engined car to him, and he treated it with the utmost due diligence, didn't idle it at all, drove it with care keeping an eye on the criticsl stuff, went over everything. Even adjusted a few things that were wrong himself free of charge. And made time (as it required more time then an average car would due to the certification checks and everything). Without a second thought. Would recommend them. And especially Craig. I'm sure everyone else is just as good but my interactions have been primarily Craig. TLDR, if you need a proper wof for your modified/stock car. Go see Craig.”

“I recently had my mags repaired here and couldn’t be happier with the results. The team did an outstanding job bringing my wheels back to life the finish looks brand new, and you’d never be able to tell there was any damage before. They worked quickly, kept me updated throughout the process, and the price was very reasonable. Professional, reliable, and top quality workmanship. Highly recommend this place if you want your mags looking sharp again.”

“Fantastic, the knowledge and experience was invaluable. I needed batteries for off grid, the guy has first hand knowledge of what is needed, and why and what suited my situation.I came away feeling really confident. That man definitely needs a raise and praise from the owner of the shop. I will definitely be using this shop again”

“We always come here, and the guys are great. Awesome service, quick and never any issues.”

“After failing my WOF at VTNZ, I went to the VTNZ recommend garage. They quoted $850 for 2 ball joints. Luckily I came to Paokwhai Autos for another quote. Scott did the job for $450 in only 3 hours. Nearly half the price for the exact same job! Great communication, good location (with loan cars) and a genuine operator. I'll be recommending my colleagues head here and stear clear of the other garage. Thanks heaps Scott!”

“Excellent customer service and a very professional business. The repair to my Fiesta was very well done, was finished when promised, and my car came back sparkling clean! The courtesy car was very reasonable and much appreciated. Highly recommend this local business but hope not to need it again too soon. :-)”

“Thanks team, great service received today! My Honda Crv drives like a dream after the service today, we will see you again!”

“The staff are always so lovely! I’ve been here a few times to get my tyres done and every visit has been excellent. They’re always able to book me in nice and early, and the prices are super affordable.”

“A friendly bunch of people to deal with. Very professional and knowledgeable, good value. Always feel confident in the service they provide. Have been using them since they took over the garage and have had no problems at all.”

“Recently got my 2020 Mitsubishi Triton serviced here. Great customer service, fast and efficient, highly recommended. :)”

“A friend recommended Albany Autofix, so I decided to give them a try. Other shops said the whole part needed replacing, but Albany Autofix fixed only the faulty sensor at a fair price. The shop is small, but don’t judge by the size or looks. The team is very professional and skilled. They explained everything clearly and did honest work. I trust them fully and will send my family and friends there from now on. Great service and great people.”

“I had an incredible experience with barts auto They not only cleared my WOF but also fixed both a mechanical issue and a tricky software problem on my car. Everything was done professionally and with great attention to detail. What really impressed me was how they went the extra mile with my second visit for warrant of fitness—fixing a small headlight issue at no extra charge. That kind of honesty and customer care is rare these days! If you’re looking for a mechanic who truly knows their stuff and goes above and beyond, I can’t recommend them enough. I’ll definitely be coming back for any future work.”

“These guys are expensive but they do a really good job honestly so it is worth it to pay the money once for a difficult job. If you have a Holden with electrical problems, these are your people it seems.”

“These guys are amazing! They took my car in even during the holidays when they weren't fully open for business yet, and had my car checked and fixed within 3 hours. Super nice and kind folks with decent prices. Thank you guys!!! So great to know that there are good mechanics out there and helping people to get back on the road. Happy 2025! :)”

“After getting dicked around for weeks by other places I found this place what awesome service received part in 24 hours highly recommend this place and will most certainly make my number one place for parts...cheers guys”

“What a pleasant experience at Kaiapoi auto electric! I was overnighting in my campervan and realised that the vsr had stopped working. They fitted me in this morning and did the job. Even supplied me with a spare fuse and showed me where to check if anything happens again. 100% recommend”

“Sorted my broken rim I had been led to believe I had to have sorted in Christchurch by others. Always the best service. Thanks Cole”

“Absolutely loved the service. Bought a wonderful blue 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross from Stephen, he was very knowledgeable and patient. I may consider getting ceramic coating/paint correction with them sometime soon.”
