A mechanic on Gear Street in Petone, Lower Hutt, two minutes' walk from Petone station. C Moore Motors started in Petone in August 1987 and says it has built a loyal local client base. It is a member of the MTA, and the workshop guarantees its work.
The workshop does WOF checks and servicing for all makes and models, including electrical faults, exhausts, brakes and clutches, transmissions, oil changes, tune-ups, cambelts, tyres, suspension and vehicle diagnostics. It works on electric and hybrid cars, 4x4s and SUVs, diesels, vans and utes. The owners say they have the latest scan tools for late-model faults and engine check lights, and they have a particular focus on European cars, though they work on any car. The website says WOFs done early are extended by up to 10 days.
Prices on the website, as at 2026, include an hourly rate of $95 plus GST, an ECU scan for an engine check light at $45 plus GST, and oil changes from $20 to $24 per litre plus GST, depending on the oil. The website notes that these are common prices and may not cover all cars.
