Auto Super Shoppe Burnside is a Christchurch mechanic workshop at 20 Sheffield Crescent, formerly known as Kendal Vehicle Services and proudly owned and operated by Carol Bradley since 1995. What began as a small suburban Mobil service station with a single mechanic has grown into a workshop with a team of seven highly skilled technicians and decades of combined experience.
The workshop is an MTA-approved business and a selected member of the wider Auto Super Shoppe network, which has over 120 locations across New Zealand. Services at Burnside cover car servicing and maintenance, Warrant of Fitness (WOF) inspections, tyres and wheel alignment, brake repairs and cambelts, air conditioning and battery services, engine diagnostics and CV joints, and European car servicing, among others.
Burnside serves customers across Bishopdale, Avonhead, Ilam, Papanui, Yaldhurst, Russley, Fendalton, Harewood, and Christchurch Airport, and offers courtesy cars and a local pickup & delivery service. Customers who prefer to wait can relax in the workshop's waiting area with free coffee and WiFi.
