Steve Welford Automotive is a Christchurch workshop at 10 Sandyford Street, Sydenham, that has been in business since 1991. It repairs and services cars, four-wheel drives and light commercial vehicles, and the website says it works on vehicles from 1928 to the latest models. Its work covers WOF inspections to NZTA requirements, mechanical repairs, and European and Japanese cars. The workshop says it works on vintage and classic cars too. Its diagnostic scanner covers 46 makes, and it is a member of the MTA. The website says bookings can be made online at any time, or by phone or email.
Customers say the mechanics are honest and efficient, and that work is done correctly with few delays. One customer who had a mechanical quote said the workshop did not charge them for an oil change they had not needed. Another said a rare Ford, which main dealers had refused, has been serviced there for a year, and the service is careful. A customer who had wheel bearings fitted and intake valves cleaned said both the work and the price were good. Among the 20 other mechanics within a kilometre, Summit Automotive, 0.2 km away, rates 4.6 from 31 reviews.
