Tucked into Grant Road in Thorndon, Motorworx has built its reputation as a Wellington mechanic workshop focused specifically on European and Japanese vehicles, whether that's a late model car, something a bit older, or a genuine classic.
Motorworx is proud to have the ability and resources to repair or service any and all components of European and Japanese vehicles. Whether the job is as simple as an oil change or something more involved, the team can repair or replace parts including starters, alternators, fuel pumps, water pumps, and much more. Servicing is offered in three forms, basic servicing, premium servicing, and diesel servicing, giving vehicle owners options depending on their car and their needs.
On the maintenance side, Motorworx uses quality oil and filters for oil changes, checking the vehicle over at the same time to flag anything that may need attention soon. Air filter changes help the engine breathe properly, while belt replacements cover everything from serpentine belts to timing belts. The team is particularly firm on timing belt or cam belt replacement, stressing that this is not a job to put off or leave to non-professionals, given the consequences of a failure.
Fluid maintenance is also part of the routine offering, with radiator fluid flushes and power steering fluid flushes available to keep these systems running cleanly rather than letting fluids become grimy over time.
Brakes are treated as a core specialty at Motorworx, covering everything from the brake pedal and hydraulic brake fluid through to the master cylinder, power brake booster, drum and disc brakes, and anti-lock brake sensors. Suspension work is handled with similar seriousness: the team stresses that suspension repairs need to be done by experienced mechanics, since changes in handling, vibrations or new noises can signal problems with springs, shocks, or steering components that affect safety.
Motorworx also offers Warrant of Fitness (WOF) inspections, describing safety and quality as their number one priority. The WOF process checks brakes, steering and suspension thoroughly, without cutting corners.
Beyond the major mechanical work, Motorworx handles smaller but important jobs too. Battery checks and replacements are offered with guidance on choosing the right battery for a given vehicle. Air conditioning servicing focuses on cabin filters, which clean incoming air of dust and pollen; Motorworx recommends getting these checked regularly, especially for anyone in the family who deals with dust allergies, hay fever, or asthma, and suggests an annual check at minimum for everyone else. Seatbelts are also assessed for wear and tear, with honest advice on whether a repair or full replacement is the better option.
For tyre needs, Motorworx is equipped with quality tyre fitting and balancing machines, along with a wheel alignment machine on a wide body hoist suited to larger vehicles. The workshop can access tyres across all brands at competitive prices, recommending the right tyre for a customer's specific driving style.
Motorworx is located at 143 Grant Road, Thorndon, Wellington, and is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 4:30pm, closed on weekends. The team can be reached by phone or email to book a vehicle in for a service, some maintenance, or simply a look, and welcomes calls for anything not specifically listed among their services.
