About Lake Auto Services

A car workshop at 5 Regent Street in Petone, Lower Hutt, which specialises in older cars but says it works on all makes and models. The business was founded in 1985, and the current owner has more than 40 years of experience in car repairs and a background in motorsport. Services include engine work on petrol, diesel, LPG and electric and hybrid cars, servicing, warrant of fitness checks, transmission and differential work, brakes, steering and suspension, radiator and heater repairs, and air conditioning repairs. Lift kits and 4WD upgrades are also offered. The workshop is an MTANZ member. The business says it serves Korokoro, Petone, Maungaraki, Alicetown and surrounding areas.

Reviewers describe the work as honest, professional and prompt, with the staff explaining what needs doing. One customer had a classic car serviced and says it went from barely running to running well. Another had aftermarket suspension certified and got helpful feedback. A customer who covers big mileage had tyres checked, a quote for two tyres and a wheel balance, and was told their car was overdue for a service. Reviewers mention the neat workshop and reasonable prices. Aksal Motors Newtown, 0.3 km away, is rated the same on many more reviews.
