A locally owned mechanical workshop at 29 Queen Street in Upper Hutt Central, which has traded from the same site for more than 35 years. It began as Maidstone Mufflers, a business specialising in exhaust and shock repairs, and it grew into a general workshop that repairs and services all vehicle types. Its services include mechanical repairs, WOF checks and car servicing. The team's combined experience is said to be over 100 years, and the workshop says it can cover almost all repairs. A tow or pick-up service is offered if a car cannot be driven to the workshop, and the tow is free when the repairs are carried out by the workshop, subject to conditions. Drop-off and pick-up to work or home is offered locally. Jump-start and lock-out help is also offered, with details on request. Shop hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
