About Matipo Garage

A family-run car workshop at 16/18 Lowe Street in Addington, Christchurch, which the website says has served local families for more than 90 years across three generations. It offers servicing, repairs, warrant of fitness inspections, computer diagnostics and wheel alignments under one roof. European models are serviced with Autologic diagnostic equipment. The website says a loan car can be arranged, subject to availability, and that cars can be dropped off on the way to work. The mechanics explain options and do not go ahead without the customer's approval. WOF inspections follow Waka Kotahi standards. Bookings can be made online or by phoning 03 348 5358.

Customers mention fair pricing most often, followed by mini repairs, puncture repairs and fleet servicing. One customer says the team takes the time to oversee and repair the car each time it needs work, and that they can trust them. Another calls the service friendly, professional and trustworthy. A third had an alignment done on a 25-year-old Prado, and says it now drives like a new car. The nearest are Krisone Motors, 0.4 km away, and Mr Singh Tyre and Auto Services, 0.7 km away.
