AutoEase Car Care is an automotive workshop at 36B Acheron Drive in Riccarton, Christchurch, offering diagnostics, servicing and repairs across new cars, old cars, petrol and electric vehicles. The team brings over 20 years of combined automotive experience, with staff who have worked across both dealerships and independent repair shops.
The workshop covers new car servicing without voiding manufacturer warranties, general repairs including steering, brakes and suspension, system diagnostics for warning lights and other issues, tyres and wheel balancing, and pre-purchase inspections for cars, trailers and motorcycles. If a vehicle breaks down, AutoEase can also arrange towing to their workshop.
AutoEase says it explains any required work in plain language before quoting, rather than starting work without agreement, and backs its work with a 12-month, 10,000km warranty. A loan car is available for customers who need one, though bookings for this are essential.
The business is run by an owner acting as Managing Director, supported by automotive technicians Mr Smith and Mr Blue.
AutoEase Car Care operates out of 36B Acheron Drive in Riccarton, Christchurch, offering diagnostics, servicing and repairs for new cars, old cars, petrol vehicles and electric vehicles alike. The team brings over 20 years of combined automotive experience, drawn from both dealership and independent repair shop backgrounds.
One of AutoEase's key selling points is new car servicing that won't void a manufacturer's warranty. Rather than pushing customers toward dealership pricing to protect their warranty, the workshop can stamp logbooks and carry out servicing on all makes, models and engine types, including electric vehicles, while keeping that warranty intact.
When a warning light comes on or a system isn't behaving as it should, AutoEase offers diagnostics across all vehicle systems, whatever the make or model. Beyond diagnostics, the team handles general repairs covering steering, brakes, suspension and more, aiming to catch and fix minor issues before they become major ones.
For anyone in the market for a car, trailer or motorcycle, AutoEase offers pre-purchase inspections, giving buyers the facts before they negotiate a deal. This sits alongside the workshop's tyre and wheel balancing service, which offers tyre options across a range of budgets.
If a vehicle breaks down, AutoEase can arrange to have it towed to their workshop rather than leaving the customer to sort out recovery themselves. For customers who need to keep moving while their car is being worked on, a loan car is available, though bookings for this are essential given limited availability.
AutoEase says it doesn't start any work without first explaining what's needed and providing a quote, aiming to keep customers informed rather than surprised by the final bill. All work carried out is backed by a 12-month, 10,000km warranty, and the business says it aims to build long-term relationships with customers rather than treating each visit as a one-off transaction.
The workshop is run by an owner acting as Managing Director, supported by automotive technicians Mr Smith and Mr Blue. AutoEase notes that its team keeps up with ongoing industry training as part of keeping customers and their vehicles safe and reliable on the road.
AutoEase Car Care is open weekdays from 8:00am to 5:00pm and is closed on weekends. Customers can reach the workshop by phone or email, or get in touch through the online enquiry form to book a service, request a pre-purchase inspection, or arrange a call back.
