About Canary Automotive

A Woolston workshop at 23 Heathcote Street, run by John Weir, a former rally and circuit racing driver, with a particular focus on Hondas. The work covers brakes and wheel bearings, clutches and gearboxes, exhausts, welding in steel and stainless, engine repairs and assembly, code scans and diagnostics, and performance parts installed and tuned, including B-Series and K-Series engines. It also does WOF repairs, with fast fixes for failed checks. Nearby, Auto 4 Woolston, 0.2 km away, is rated 5.0 from 56 reviews, and SNM Automotive, 0.9 km away, is rated 4.8 from 23 reviews.

Customers say John took the time to find the cause of a car that would not start, looking over the whole car to rule things out. One customer has used him for servicing for 20 years and says he is a good bloke with huge knowledge. Another says he is cost-effective, avoids unnecessary repairs, and warns in advance of repairs coming up so they can budget. The staff are described as friendly. Our pick in Woolston for a Honda repair or a careful look at a car's problem.
