Torque Tyre & Auto (TTA 4x4) Ferry Road is one of three Christchurch branches under the TTA brand, alongside Rangiora and Sockburn. The Ferry Road store has a long history in the area, having operated for 8 years under a previous brand before being rebranded to TTA in August 2024, shortly after the TTA brand itself launched out of the Rangiora store in June 2024.
TTA specialises in 4x4 accessories and upgrades, including bull bars, lift kits, driving lights, snorkels, wheels and tyres, canopies and tray accessories, and rear diff lockers, stocking brands such as Venom Power, IC Suspension, BDS and Method Race Wheels. Customers can use the site's "Shop By Vehicle" tool to find parts suited to their specific make, model and year.
Beyond retail, TTA offers workshop services, quote requests and bookings for fitting, and the business describes its future ambition as building a New Zealand-wide network of trusted workshops offering the same standard of service seen at its Christchurch branches.
Torque Tyre & Auto, known as TTA 4x4, has a longer history in Christchurch than its relatively recent brand name suggests. The Ferry Road store itself operated for 8 years under a previous brand before being rebranded to TTA in August 2024 — just two months after the TTA name was born out of the company's original Rangiora store, which had been trading under a different brand since June 2022.
After what the business describes as overwhelming support from the North Canterbury community around its Rangiora store, TTA expanded into the city, rebranding the established Ferry Road location and opening a third store in Sockburn just a month later. Today, TTA operates three Christchurch branches — Rangiora, Ferry Road and Sockburn — each offering, in the company's words, the same great prices, products and services.
TTA's product range centres on the kind of upgrades 4x4 owners look for when building out their vehicle. Bull bars, lift kits, and snorkels sit alongside a full driving lights range covering single spotlights, spotlight pairs, light bars and pod lights. For traction and off-road capability, TTA also offers the Anytime Locker, a rear differential locker upgrade, along with wheels and tyres from brands like Venom Power, and canopy and tray accessories for ute owners wanting to maximise their vehicle's utility.
The store carries recognised names in the 4x4 space, including Venom Power, IC Suspension, BDS and Method Race Wheels, giving customers a range of established brands to choose from rather than just a single house option.
One useful feature of TTA's website is its "Shop By Vehicle" tool, which lets customers select their make, model and year to find parts that will actually fit their rig — a practical touch for an industry where compatibility varies significantly between vehicle generations. For anything not immediately clear, the business also offers a Request a Quote option and encourages customers to make a booking for fitting and workshop services.
TTA's ambitions extend past its current three-store Christchurch footprint. The company describes its mission as delivering the best products and service nationwide, with plans for a network of TTA Agencies across New Zealand that would replicate the standard set at its Christchurch branches — meaning customers anywhere in the country could eventually access the same level of service.
Customers can reach TTA by phone at 0508 TORQUE or by email at [email protected], and the Ferry Road store has its own dedicated Instagram presence (@ttaferryroad) alongside the wider TTA social channels. Whether it's a bull bar, a lift kit, a set of off-road tyres, or advice on what will fit a specific vehicle, TTA Ferry Road offers both the retail range and the workshop expertise to help Christchurch 4x4 owners build out their vehicles.
