Because the workshop is owner-operated, the person repairing your car is the person you talk to. There are no middlemen and no runaround — just clear communication, honest advice and work the team is happy to stand behind.

A Full Range of Mechanical Work

The service list covers every corner of vehicle care. Full mechanical repairs handle everything from engine faults to suspension issues, with fixing it right the first time as the stated goal. Scheduled vehicle servicing and tune-ups keep cars performing at their peak and help extend their lifespan.

WOF inspections are quick and certified, and if your vehicle needs work to meet NZTA safety standards, same-day repairs are available. Bigger jobs are welcome too: engine and transmission diagnostics and repairs cover everything from oil leaks to gearbox failure, while brake and clutch servicing looks after pads, rotors, clutches and hydraulic components. Worn cambelts and faulty exhaust systems are replaced and repaired before they become major — and more expensive — problems.

Commercial drivers are well catered for, with COF pre-checks and repairs tailored for vans, light trucks and commercial fleets. And when it's time for new rubber, the workshop fits both new and quality-used tyres at affordable prices.

A Genuine Hybrid Specialty

Hybrid vehicles are where Mister Auto Tech really distinguishes itself. As a hybrid car specialist, the workshop offers end-to-end hybrid servicing with the latest tools and know-how, from diagnostics through to repairs. The dedicated hybrid battery service covers health checks, reconditioning and replacements, keeping hybrids running efficiently and economically.

That modern-vehicle expertise extends to electronics. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, the team troubleshoots dashboard warnings, electronic faults and sensor issues — the gremlins that can leave other workshops scratching their heads.

Fast Turnarounds, Fair Prices

The workshop runs a streamlined system targeting roughly one vehicle per hour, with same-day service available for fast bookings. Efficiency never comes at the cost of quality, and pricing stays clear and fair with no hidden costs.

Every job is backed by a 28-day repair guarantee: if the same issue returns within 28 days, the team repairs it again free of charge. Repairs use trusted, manufacturer-recommended parts to ensure durability and performance, whether it's a simple fix or a full replacement. Industry certifications displayed by the workshop — including MTA and NZTA — add a further layer of confidence.
