🎉 10 YEARS! 🎉

Ten years ago we opened the roller door on our first little workshop (photo 1, rainbow and all 🌈). Today we're working out of our own purpose-built workshop (photo 2), and we couldn't be prouder.

None of this happens without you: our loyal customers, local businesses, suppliers and everyone who's recommended us to a mate. Every WOF, service and repair over the last decade has helped build this place.

A huge thank you to the Otaki community for backing a local business. Here's to the next 10 years! 🔧🚗

Spotted one of my all-time favourites over the weekend:
"The Iconic Mack Bulldog" 🐶🏆

Built tough, never quits, and looks good doing it. That's what we want for every vehicle that rolls out of our workshop too.

Your ute, van or family car doesn't need a chrome grille to be a workhorse. It just needs looking after. At Paul Branch Automotive, we'll photograph and quote the work before we start, so there are no surprises.

School holidays are just around the corner 🚗☀️

Heading away with the kids? Before you pack the car, give your tyres a quick look:

✅ Tread depth: less than 1.5mm is illegal, and less than 3mm is worth replacing before a long trip
✅ Uneven wear: if the inside or outside edge is wearing faster, your alignment's probably out
✅ Pulling to one side or a wobbly steering wheel? Same story

A wheel alignment and a fresh set of tyres make the drive safer, save you fuel, and make your tyres last longer.

Not sure? Pop in, and we'll check them for you. We'll show you photos and give you the price upfront, so there are no surprises.

🔧 Your local Otaki mechanics, here for the Kapiti Coast!

Whether it's a WOF, a logbook service, or something that doesn't sound right under the bonnet — the team at Paul Branch Automotive has you covered.

We photograph and quote everything up front, so you always know what you're paying for before we even begin. No surprises, no guesswork — just honest work from a fully qualified team.

We also do brakes, diagnostics, air con, transmissions, wheel alignments, tyres, and punctures — plus courtesy cars if you need to keep moving while we sort your vehicle.

Pop in and see us in Otaki — we'd love to look after your car (or your work ute!).
