Just five minutes from Wellington city, Brooklyn Auto is a locally owned and operated auto workshop at 8 McKinley Crescent in Brooklyn. It's run by an owner-operator with over 38 years of experience in the trade, and the shop has built its identity specifically around being a brake specialist, alongside a full range of general mechanical servicing and repairs.
While brakes are the shop's specialty — covering ABS brakes, brake fluid and oil checks, brake inspections and brake replacements — Brooklyn Auto also handles the full spread of general auto repair work. That includes electrical and diagnostics for fuel injection cars, qualified mechanical repairs, car diagnostic tests, timing belts and chains, transmission repairs, serpentine belt replacement, engine repairs, electrical system repair, cooling system service and fuel pump replacement. An engine oil and filter change starts from $149, and the shop works on all makes and models, including breakdown repairs and pre-purchase inspections for anyone buying a used car.
Brooklyn Auto also carries out Warrant of Fitness checks, covering the full list of WOF inspection points: tyre condition, brake operation, window washers and wipers, exhaust, fuel system, steering and suspension, safety belts, doors, glazing, airbags and anti-lock brakes, lights, structural condition and the speedometer.
For a more thorough once-over, the shop offers a Deluxe Lube Service starting from $299. It's a genuinely comprehensive check, covering an engine oil and filter replacement, testing of brake and clutch fluid, a coolant and radiator inspection, power steering fluid top-up, battery and alternator testing, air filter and drive belt checks, transmission and differential fluid inspection, tyre condition and pressure checks, windscreen washer and wiper testing, a full lights check, an exhaust inspection, and more — right down to a cabin vacuum or exterior wash and a road test.
Brooklyn Auto is also the local tyre shop, selling NAPA batteries and running periodic tyre promotions such as buy-one-get-one-half-price or buy-three-get-one-free deals on selected tyres (terms and conditions apply).
Brooklyn Auto is a short walk from the bus route into Wellington city, so customers can drop a car off and head into town for the day. For those who'd rather not make the trip themselves, the shop also offers a free pick up and drop off service. It backs its work with a warranty on all repairs and servicing, uses parts from reputable brands, and provides a free waste oil disposal service for customers.
The workshop is open Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm and Saturday from 8:00am to 1:00pm, and is closed on Sundays. Whether it's a routine WOF, a brake inspection, or a full Deluxe Lube Service, Brooklyn Auto positions itself as a straightforward, guaranteed option for Wellington drivers, backed by decades of hands-on experience.
