Car service in New Zealand

“Gosh these guys are certainly the best mechanics we’ve dealt with over the last 30 years. Always there for us when needed regardless if short notice, consciously go out of their way to recommend the most cost effective way to fix our vehicles, excellent result from their work and really nice people. We have been more than delighted with every service they have provided for us. And soooo much than affordable than getting work the done by dealers of our cars’ brand.”

“This place is great! We were getting ready to sell our car in Auckland and had several issues pop up, the owner carved time out of his busy schedule and helped us out. Very honest, funny guy. Highly recommend!”

“Had my transmission and Quattro system serviced at GT Auto. The pricing was fair, and the service was excellent. Max and the team’s professionalism left a great impression on me. Highly recommend to all car owners!.”

“Update 01/2025: Been taking my Audi here for nearly 10 years, 98% of the time. The one time I didn't (due to laziness on my part), the other shop screwed it up hard. Thankfully Brodie's helped investigate the issue and their report ensured the other shop fixed their screw up. Lesson learned. I ain't letting anyone else touch my car. Great service, friendly and knowledgeable of all things VAG. Just make sure to book well ahead. They are popular.”

“Sent my Volkswagen for a service, WOF check, repairs for the check and Bilić provided. My car runs beautifully and everything was done in such a short time.”

“Best quality work and professionalism I've seen. They go the extra mile. Most helpful and honest mechanics around. Very fair prices too, didn't get overcharged like other places.”

“"I had a great experience at this garage. The mechanics were knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. The repairs were done on time and at a fair price. I appreciate their honesty and professionalism. I will definitely come back for future. I highly recommend my family and friends to come down to marshall automotive for any problems and issues with their cars.”

“Cannot recommend live wire enough, friendly staff great advice, 100% recommended”

“Highly recommend Sinclair Collision Repairs. Van WOF had failed due to structural rust which left me in a tricky position. They promptly repaired the noted defects to pass WOF and got my vehicle back on the road! Thank you for your work.”

“Highly recommend Kumeu Huapai Panel Panelbeaters. After a disappointing experience with another repairer, I brought my vehicle to Kumeu Huapai Panelbeaters and the difference was night and day. They were professional, efficient, and easy to deal with from start to finish. The repair was completed quickly and to a high standard, and they even washed the vehicle before returning it to me, which was a really appreciated touch. Thank you to the team for turning a stressful situation into a smooth and positive experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others.”

“Had a puncture on my trailer at VTNZ, almost closing time and these guys had no issues helping with a new valve. Good blokes.”

“A+ service! Ranjeev and the team are outstanding – always professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful. They go above and beyond to ensure everything is done efficiently and to a high standard. Even helped me out with my e-scooter tyre problem!”

“Needed a service before going away for a girls weekend and they were quick, efficient and friendly. They called and spoke through the costs now and what will be needed ahead of next WOF and gave us a choice before doing it all immediately and costing a fortune. Great communication and awesome friendly people. Thanks !”

“Ordered and paid for the power-steer kit in Wellie.arrived Hawkes Bay 24 odd hours later,,WHAT AMAZING SERVICE well done chris”

“Hutt City European are the real-thing, had my car WOF there and a few other parts, definitely will be back for all services and all works from here on, great service, friendly staff, highly professional, highly recommended.”

“Ivan always communicates clearly and let’s me know if there are any issues with the car and let’s me know the likely costs before making any repairs. He saves any old worn parts and is happy to explain why they needed replacing. He is flexible and accommodating in terms of getting an appointment and I have always felt that I am in good hands. I have had several services and WOFs there and have always been happy with the service.”

“Scott and his team are amazing. They are friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating. I have 4 work vehicles that do a lot of kms, so need a reliable mechanic. They always do a great job with no loose ends (unlike past mechanics I have used), and are great at communicating what is wrong / needs to be done in car illiterate terms. Thank you all so much for providing such a great service!”

“So easy to use, very helpful and got a great deal with my power and gas”

“Uncle Chung is the best panel and paint I have ever met. Skilled and efficient”

“Nice and friendly staff! I've been here a few times and I will definitely continue to come here in the future. I'm adding to this review because I was touched again by their super professionalism and friendliness. I went to their place late Friday afternoon urgently because of the alternator issue and told them that I would need to drive to Auckland Saturday. They figured out the issue instantly and tried very hard to source the parts for my car. I was so glad that the car was nicely fixed and I was able to drive to Auckland safely and happily Saturday morning. Thanks again, guys! You are super helpful! :-) I highly recommend their service again!”

“Clint the new owner was awesome! He provided me great service. I highly recommend this place for all your car repairs. :-)”

“***I highly recommend Paul and the team at Challenge Pauatahanui*** - excellent customer service - community focused values and support - good prices, especially with the card - they stock Maycey’s packet lollies (smokers, jelly beans etc) For a good couple of years we lived in this area and they became our local gas station. Everyone there is so friendly and welcoming especially Paul and his daughter's. They have a real sense of community about them and always took the time to banter and have a laugh. My heavily tattooed partner can often be misjudged because of his looks but not here - they got to know him well and he’s always appreciated that! They are huge pillar in the community and I have so much admiration for their support with community fundraisers and promoting local businesses. There are very few people and businesses like this anymore which is so sad when once upon a time it was the norm. So we must show our support and appreciation by choosing their services wherever we can. Thank you Paul and team so much for all you do and your amazing service! We'll definitely be back whenever we’re up those ways :D”

“They fixed my issue very quickly”

“These guys are the best! Have had to use them a few times and they have always provided same day service! Professional and great pricing. Thanks again”

“Great local mechanics, really honest & open, organised with pre ordering parts & did the repairs really promptly.”

“Amazing service and my car Donna is smooth and better than ever with my WOF cleared. Thank you muchly to all the staff who worked on her.”

“Thank you Wes for your fabulous service. You fixed my vehicle and had me back on the road within 1 hour. You even drove down in your own vehicle to where I was broken down to ensure I was OK. That was stunning service. Thanks guys”

“Took the car in for a minor issue and a wof. Ended up spending a fair bit to get the car up to WOF standard including fixing the horn I hadn't used since the last WOF. Got the car back after they said it was all fixed. Checked everything when I got home and horn didn't work. Contacted the team and they bent over backwards to get the issues resolved, ensure we weren't put out, and got everything sorted the next day. Great experience, good team, if you bring your car here they will look after you.”
