City Centre Motors is a family-owned workshop at 7 Parumoana Street, in the Porirua city centre, and the website says it has been in Porirua for more than 50 years. It does servicing, repairs and WOF checks for cars, and the website says it is the place to go for one-stop vehicle care. The shop offers a 12-month or 20,000 km warranty on labour and new parts, which the website contrasts with garages that give no warranty. Phone (04) 237 4940. The website says the shop works on fleet vehicles too, and says the team is focused on hassle-free service at fair prices.
Customers say the team is clear and straightforward about pricing, and that it explains the problem and the options. One customer whose car would not start at home needed a battery, and the team was quick to help. Others say they were fitted in at short notice for a quick service, and that brake replacements were done quickly and with a clear explanation of what was needed. A customer who has used the shop for years says it is thorough, honest and efficient. Brake pads and professional mechanics come up most often. The only other mechanic within a kilometre, Midas Porirua, has no rating on Open Locally.
