Mark's Automotive Ltd is a vehicle repair workshop in Prebbleton, Christchurch, providing automobile repairs since 2002. Mark and Leona opened the business that year, and Mark brings over 38 years of experience in the trade, working on everything from older cars through to the latest 2021 models.
The workshop is equipped with a large range of scan tools that Mark is confident and enjoys working with, allowing the team to service, repair and diagnose any make and model of vehicle. As an MTA approved workshop, Mark's Automotive ensures its technicians meet the highest industry standards, and the team is also training up a few younger mechanics so Mark can pass on his knowledge.
Beyond general vehicle repairs, the workshop offers WOF inspections, tyres and batteries, and also carries out WOF checks and mechanical repairs on trailers and caravans. Mark's Automotive is a Tyre Team Authorised dealer for Kumho Tyres, and also deals in and supplies other brands including Hankook, Maxxis, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Supercat, Dayton, Goodride and Hifly.
Customers who need to keep their day moving while their car is being worked on can use one of the workshop's loan vehicles - something the business notes its customers particularly appreciate.
Mark's Automotive Ltd has been keeping Prebbleton's vehicles running since 2002, when Mark and Leona opened the workshop on Springs Rd. Over two decades later, Mark brings more than 38 years of trade experience to the job, having worked on everything from older classic cars through to the latest 2021 models - a range that speaks to both his depth of experience and his commitment to keeping his skills current.
The workshop holds a large range of scan tools, equipment Mark is confident and genuinely enjoys working with. That combination of modern diagnostic capability and decades of hands-on experience means the team can service, repair, and diagnose issues across any make and model of vehicle, rather than specialising narrowly in a single brand or era.
As an MTA approved workshop, Mark's Automotive holds itself to recognised industry standards - a marker of trust for customers dropping off a vehicle they rely on daily. The business is also training up a few younger mechanics, giving Mark a way to pass along decades of accumulated trade knowledge to the next generation.
Beyond general vehicle repairs and servicing, Mark's Automotive handles WOF inspections, supplies and fits tyres and batteries, and even extends its WOF and mechanical repair services to trailers and caravans - a practical extra for anyone in the Prebbleton area with more than just a car to keep road-legal.
On tyres specifically, the workshop is a Tyre Team Authorised dealer for Kumho, while also dealing in and supplying a wide range of other brands, including Hankook, Maxxis, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Supercat, Dayton, Goodride, and Hifly - giving customers real choice rather than a single house brand.
One detail customers consistently appreciate is the availability of loan vehicles. Rather than being stuck waiting around or arranging alternative transport, customers can borrow a vehicle from Mark's Automotive and carry on with their day while their own car is being repaired or serviced - a small but genuinely useful touch for a busy household.
The team is upfront that Mark really enjoys fixing cars, and that enthusiasm is part of what makes the workshop what it is. It's a small detail, but it reflects a business built on genuine interest in the trade rather than just going through the motions.
Mark's Automotive Ltd is located at 559 Springs Rd, Prebbleton 7604, New Zealand, and is open Monday to Friday from 7:35am to 5:25pm. The workshop is closed on Saturdays and Sundays for family time. Customers can reach the team on 03-349 3344 or by email at [email protected], and appointments can also be booked online through the website.
