About JT Automotive

A mechanic's garage at 477 Blenheim Road in Sockburn, Christchurch. The website says the business is based in Riccarton, and describes a spacious garage with five working areas and five mechanics, and says it is a member of the Motor Trade Association. Services include warrant of fitness inspections and repairs, servicing for domestic and imported vehicles, fleet servicing, brake and suspension repairs, auto electrical work, batteries, air-conditioning and computer diagnostics. Wheel alignments and tyre repairs are also offered, and hybrid battery replacement is mentioned by customers. The website says a free quote is given after the parts and labour are considered. Local pick-up and drop-off are offered, with up to three courtesy cars, and the garage is open six days a week. Customers mention WOF checks most often, followed by alignments and tyre repairs.

Customers praise the team for helping them get back on the road quickly, and say the staff explain the work clearly. One customer had a hybrid battery replaced, found the staff helpful and the boss friendly, and says the pricing was reasonable. Not every visit has gone smoothly. One customer booked a WOF and service for 10am, and was told only on arrival that they would need to leave the car until 3pm. They say this should have been made clear when booking. The nearest are Fil Motors, 0.2 km away, and Mallus Auto Repair, 0.4 km away.
