About Sonter Automotive (2003) Ltd

A family-owned car workshop in Wigram, Christchurch, operating since 2003. It has recently moved into a new shop in Wigram, with a full test lane, a four-channel AECS oscilloscope for diagnosing complex electrical faults, several scan tools and a Hunter wheel aligner.

The workshop does car servicing, repairs, WOF inspections, transmission flushing, wheel alignment, brake repair, tune-ups and vehicle inspections. It also re-gasses and services car air conditioning with its new machine. The workshop uses Castrol lubricants, Ryco filters and Century batteries, and every vehicle it services is checked on the test lane before it goes back to the road.

Customers who have written about the workshop say the turnaround is quick, the estimates are clear and nobody was overcharged. One customer says a mechanic found a fault in under five minutes that other garages had struggled to find. The owners describe the workshop as built on clear communication and honest pricing.

Our pick in Wigram for a car that needs a diagnosis, a WOF or air conditioning work from a workshop that explains the cost first.
