Automotive business in New Zealand

“I have an Audi S4 that had an unknown tune on it when I bought it and was feeling very underpowered, Richard helped me identify what tune it had and overwrite it with a brand new APR ECU and TCU tune, the car drives better and faster than it has ever done, gear changes are much smoother, and it even helped settle a rough idle issue I was having. The whole process only took about an hour and Richard was great banter while we waited with tones of recommendations for servicing, upgrades, etc. I only contacted them about getting this done yesterday and they’ve got me sorted and our the door so quick with great communication.”

They always go the extra mile and explain things clearly and show us functions on the car we not know about. Really appreciate their help with everything to do with our vehicle”

Highly recommend them to anyone needing quality panel beating or paintwork!”

The owner assigned a knowledgeable, experienced mechanic to take a test drive with me. After the drive, they assured me there was nothing wrong with the car—and they didn’t charge me anything! I highly recommend this place. A+++!”

I'll be back”

This was between the Christmas and New Year period when he was already busy with other customers but managed to make time for us, explain what was wrong and the process to fix it, all within the hour for a very reasonable price. Outstanding service and lovely guy! Thanks so much Graham.”

“I'm from the north and really scared of Auckland mostly South and West of dodgy mechanics who scam because we've had a lot of encounters. But these guys omg, car broke down I towed it to them, a little family run business by the looks, they were very honest and caring. They took care of the car repaired the fuel system drained the fuel and re topped which was the cause, and told me that was it, no more damage. They did recommend other stuff but was just a side note and car can still drive and operate normally now. No pressure no nothing. I drove car out couple days after repair and it was completely immaculate and drove back north. And yes another trusted mechanic up here said I should change exactly what they recommended that day. Thank You So much Crown Auto Glen Eden. I always wanted to leave a message for yous. I will for sure return to you and your team if I'm in Auckland again. Highly recommend thank yous”

“Very pleased with their professionalism & very pleasant to deal with. Lovely clean and tidy outfit which is very nice to see. Loved the courtesy car too.”
