Electrical Systems

Auto Electrical Repairs & Fault Diagnosis

Modern vehicles rely on complex electrical systems for everything from engine management to safety features. When something goes wrong electrically, accurate diagnosis is critical. We carry professional diagnostic equipment to identify faults quickly and carry out reliable repairs — from wiring issues to sensor replacements and everything in between.

What's Included

  • Electrical fault diagnosis and repair
  • Starter motor and alternator testing and replacement
  • Wiring harness inspection and repair
  • Sensor replacement (O2, MAF, crankshaft, etc.)
  • Lighting and indicator repairs
  • Central locking and window motor repairs
  • Fuse and relay diagnosis
  • Charging system testing

Electrical gremlins can be tricky to track down without the right tools. We use professional-grade equipment to get to the root cause — not just clear the code.

OBD-II Diagnostics

Advanced Computer Diagnostics & Fault Code Scanning

A dashboard warning light can mean dozens of different things. Rather than guessing, we use advanced OBD-II diagnostic equipment to read fault codes, analyse live data streams, and accurately identify what's causing the issue. You'll receive a clear explanation of the findings and a transparent quote before any work begins.

What's Included

  • Full OBD-II fault code scan and analysis
  • Live data monitoring and interpretation
  • Engine management system diagnostics
  • ABS, airbag, and traction control fault reading
  • Transmission and gearbox fault diagnosis
  • Emissions system diagnostics
  • Fault code clearing after repair
  • Written diagnostic report provided

Accurate diagnosis saves money and prevents unnecessary parts replacements. We identify the real issue — not just the symptom.

Critical Engine Maintenance

Cam Belt & Timing Belt Replacement

The cam belt (timing belt) is one of the most critical components in your engine. If it fails, the consequences can be catastrophic — and expensive. We carry out cam belt replacements to manufacturer specifications, typically combined with a water pump replacement for maximum value and peace of mind.

What's Included

  • Cam belt / timing belt replacement
  • Water pump replacement (recommended at same time)
  • Tensioner and idler pulley replacement
  • Cam belt cover inspection
  • Coolant replacement post water pump
  • Full inspection of surrounding components
  • Manufacturer-specified intervals followed

Most manufacturers recommend cam belt replacement every 100,000 km or 6–10 years. Don't wait until it fails — the cost of prevention is far less than the cost of an engine rebuild.

Hybrid Vehicles

Hybrid Battery Inspection, Servicing & Maintenance

As hybrid vehicles become increasingly common in New Zealand, specialist knowledge is essential. We offer hybrid battery health inspections, capacity testing, and maintenance services to help you understand the condition of your hybrid system and make informed decisions about your vehicle.

What's Included

  • Hybrid battery health and capacity testing
  • State of charge and balance assessment
  • Hybrid system fault code scanning
  • Cooling system inspection for hybrid battery
  • Cell voltage and temperature analysis
  • Maintenance recommendations and reporting
  • Pre-purchase hybrid battery assessment

Hybrid battery health is a key factor in the value and reliability of hybrid vehicles. We provide honest, detailed assessments — particularly useful before purchasing a used hybrid.

Safety Systems

Brake, Steering & Suspension Repairs

Your brakes, steering, and suspension are your vehicle's most critical safety systems.

On-the-Spot Service

Battery Testing, Supply & Replacement

A failing battery can leave you stranded without warning — often at the worst possible time. We carry a range of quality batteries to suit most passenger vehicles and can test, diagnose, and replace your battery on the spot at your location. No towing, no waiting, no hassle.

  • Alternator output and charging system check

Cosmetic Repairs

Panel & Paint Repairs

Dents, scratches, and minor panel damage can affect both the appearance and value of your vehicle. We offer professional panel and paint repair services to restore your vehicle's finish — from minor touch-ups and scratch repairs to more involved panel work.

What's Included

  • Minor dent and ding repair
  • Scratch and scuff repair
  • Paint touch-up and blending
  • Stone chip repair
  • Minor panel reshaping
  • Colour-matched paint application
  • Assessment and quote for larger panel work

For larger panel or structural repairs, we'll provide an honest assessment and refer you to a specialist if the work is beyond our scope.

Corrosion Protection

Rust Repair & Treatment

Rust is one of the most damaging and progressive issues a vehicle can face — and in New Zealand's coastal climate, it's a common problem. We offer rust inspection, treatment, and repair services to stop corrosion in its tracks and protect your vehicle's structural integrity and longevity.

What's Included

  • Rust inspection and severity assessment
  • Surface rust treatment and removal
  • Rust converter application
  • Protective coating and sealant application
  • Minor rust repair and panel work
  • Underbody rust inspection
  • Preventative rust treatment for at-risk areas

Rust caught early is far cheaper to treat than rust left to spread. We recommend an annual underbody inspection, particularly for vehicles near the coast.
