Tool wall and trolley in a working repair shop

Specialist repairs in Whangārei

The jobs other workshops pass on, and second opinions when a quote does not feel right.

Some jobs are awkward, expensive to get wrong, or just unusual. Engine and head work, driveline noises, intermittent electrical faults, older vehicles and imports with no local parts. We take them on, quote honestly, and source parts new, used or reconditioned to keep the bill where it should be.

What lands on this side of the shop

Engine and head workHead gaskets, timing, mechanical repairs, in house.
DrivelineClutches, gearboxes, noises that come and go.
Older cars and importsParts sourced new, used or reconditioned.
Second opinionsBring the quote and the car. We tell you straight.

What do people ask about specialist repairs?

Another workshop said it is not worth fixing. Is it?

Sometimes they are right. Bring it in and we will look before we answer. If the honest answer is that the car is done, you will hear that from us too.

Do you use second hand parts?

When it makes sense and when you want us to. A good used part on an older car can save hundreds. We tell you the options, the prices and what we would do, then you choose.

Can you do engine rebuilds?

Yes, within reason. Head work, timing, gaskets and mechanical repairs are in house. Full machining goes to a specialist we trust, and we manage the job.

Will you give a second opinion on a quote I already have?

Yes. Bring the quote and the car. We will tell you whether the work is needed, whether the price is fair, and whether there is a cheaper way to do it.
