Everyday cars deserve quality care too!

This Honda Civic came in with brake shudder. Our inspection found excessive runout in the front brake rotors, so we fitted new Brembo rotors and brake pads, lubricating the appropriate contact points with copper compound.

Completed on time and ready for collection! ✅

Another happy Audi customer and another fantastic five-star review! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Outstanding service!!! Worthy of 10 stars!!”

Fresh brakes for this Mazda!

We replaced the brake rotors all round with Brembo rotors and fitted C Plus brake pads — at around half the dealer’s quoted price.

We also noticed it was due for a service, so we’re taking care of that and giving it a complimentary vacuum before it heads back on the road.

❄️ This MINI came to our Te Aro workshop because its air conditioning wasn’t cooling properly.

We traced the problem to a leaking condenser, sourced the replacement part and fitted it. After the repair, we vacuum-tested the system and found no further leak before recharging it. We also added UV dye as a precaution, so any small leak that shows up later can be easier to trace with a UV light and glasses.

Headlights staying on after you lock the car?

This Mazda’s headlights stayed on even when it was parked and locked, leaving the owner worried about a flat battery.

One of our favourite tools is a multimeter. In the right hands, it helps us trace electrical faults quickly. We found and fixed the issue, so the owner can park up without worrying about the battery going flat. 🚗💡
