Cromwell Auto Centre (2005) Ltd is a locally owned workshop at the corner of Cemetery Road and Chardonnay Street in Cromwell, Central Otago. The website says it repairs and services all car makes and models, with computer diagnostics and fault-code scanning. Services include servicing, WOF, tyres, brakes, suspension, batteries and pre-purchase inspections. It is an agent for the NZ Transport Agency, so it can handle new vehicle registrations and road user licences. Free pick-up and delivery is offered within the Cromwell town boundary, and a courtesy car is available on enquiry. The website says the owner has more than 30 years' experience, and that the business is a member of the Motor Trade Association. The phone number is 445 1494.
Customers are mixed. One said the WOF and a fault that previous mechanics had missed were fixed well, with a quick turnaround. Others were unhappy: one said the car was booked two weeks ahead and the service and WOF were poorly handled, and another said parts were replaced without notice and that staff were rude when they got in touch. Fair pricing and wait times are mentioned. Our pick in Cromwell for a WOF and servicing, with the courtesy car and pick-up as practical help.
