A FEW UPDATES FROM WESTERN MOTORS OTAUTAU!

We’ve got a few things happening around the workshop that we wanted to share with the community.

We’re excited to announce that Jacob is now a qualified Vehicle Inspector. He’s put in the hard work to get to this point, and we’re really proud to have another qualified inspector here at Western Motors. Congratulations Jacob — well deserved!

Welcome to the team Nic!
You may have already seen a new face around the office! Nic has joined the Western Motors team and will be helping out in the office and keeping things running smoothly. We are excited to have Nic on board with the team. Nic can be contacted through our main number 03 2258314 or the new office cellphone 027 274 4082 for any bookings or enquiries.

Price Increases from 1st of October 2026.
Like many businesses, we’ve seen increases in operating and supply costs, and unfortunately this means we need to make some changes to our pricing.

From 1st October 2026, there will be price increases across some of our services.

Its also been a busy time over at Western Valet Services, with Kendra pumping out plenty of vehicle cleans.
We just want to say a big thank you to everyone who has been booking in with Kendra at Western Valet Services and with christmas creeping up before we know it now might be the perfect time to start thinking about getting your vehicle cleaned.

Whether it’s a good clean-up after a busy year, getting the family car freshened up before the Christmas holidays, or simply treating your vehicle to a bit of TLC — Kendra has got you covered!

Head over to the Western Valet Services page to check out her work and get in touch with Kendra on 027 625 8314 to book your vehicle in.

We really appreciate your understanding and continued support of our local business.

A little update from Western Motors Otautau!

We wanted to let our customers know about a change within the Western Motors Otautau team.

Kendra has now become solely focused on our valet services, which have grown into their own branch within the business — Western Valet Services.

Kendra is still very much part of the Western Motors team, but will now be dedicated to running the valet side of the business. If you're looking for vehicle valeting, cleaning or detailing, you can find her over at the Western Valet Services page.
Keep an eye out for our Valet Giveaway coming soon!

Warrant of Fitness Inspections!

Just a quick reminder before you bring your vehicle in for its Warrant of Fitness:

Can you please:
👉 Remove any child car/booster seats to allow for seat belt inspections.
👉 Give the underbody a quick clean if it's caked in mud, so we can inspect the chassis properly.
👉 Clear out any loose gear, rubbish, tools, drink bottles, or anything else that could become a flying object during the inspection.

A few minutes of prep from our customers helps us get your WOF done efficiently and as quickly as possible.

Thanks for helping us out – we really appreciate it!

❄️ Winter Roads = Extra Caution ❄️

With the colder mornings and frosty weather setting in, black ice can catch even the most experienced drivers by surprise. It often can't be seen until it's too late, especially on bridges, shaded areas, and country roads.

🚗 A few simple tips to help keep you and your family safe this winter:

✅ Slow down and allow extra time for your journey.
✅ Increase your following distance.
✅ Brake and steer gently – sudden movements can cause your vehicle to skid.
✅ Make sure your tires have good tread and the correct tyre pressure.
✅ Check your windscreen wipers and keep your washer bottle topped up.
✅ Ensure all your lights are working so you can see and be seen.
✅ If you don't have to travel in icy conditions, consider waiting until the roads warm up.

💙 **Need a hand this winter?**

**Kendra is on site weekdays from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm.** If you'd like your tyre pressures checked, your lights looked over, or have any questions or concerns about your vehicle, feel free to pop in.

**No appointment needed—just pop in and say hello!** Whether it's a quick tyre pressure check or simply some friendly advice, we're always happy to help keep you and your family safe on the road this winter. 🚗❄️

Stay safe, drive to the conditions, and look after one another this winter.
From all of us at Western Motors, thank you for supporting local. 💙
