Vehicle Servicing

Whenever you purchase a new vehicle, the manufacturer provides you with a warranty which covers the cost of parts failure. This warranty is only valid, however, if you have your vehicle periodically serviced by a certified mechanic, who records and stamps these services in your vehicle’s logbook.

Here at Auto City, our expert mechanics are fully certified to provide vehicle servicing for all:

• Petrol vehicles
• Diesel vehicles
• Electric/hybrid vehicles

WOF and other Vehicle Inspections

A Warrant of Fitness (WOF) ensures that your vehicle meets the safety standards to be legally driven on New Zealand roads. Depending on the age of your vehicle, you may need to have it inspected annually, or every 6 months.

If you’re planning on buying a secondhand vehicle, we would recommend bringing it in for a pre-purchase inspection, so that you know exactly what you’re buying, and avoid any nasty surprises.

Auto City’s accomplished technicians can perform both WOF and pre-purchase inspections.

Steering and Suspension

Faults and flaws in your steering and suspension affect handling and ride comfort, causing play in the steering wheel, and body lean around corners. Your suspension is also responsible for maximising the grip that your tyres exert on the road, and a poor suspension will increase your stopping distance.

Here at Auto City, our skilled mechanics can provide the following services:

• Wheel alignments
• Shock absorbers, springs and struts
• Wheel balancing
• Bushing replacement
• Power steering repairs and replacement

Transmission Services

As part of the assembly that transmits power from the engine to the wheels, the transmission is comprised of some of the most complex and intricate machinery in your vehicle. Due to their sophisticated nature, even minor flaws can quickly escalate into extremely costly repairs.

Auto City’s expert engineers can repair or replace automatic and manual transmissions, so if you hear a grinding noise when changing gears, get in touch with us today.

Cooling Systems

If your cooling system is malfunctioning, it can cause a myriad of issues from reduced power output and fuel efficiency, to decreased engine lifespan as overheating and leaking coolant damages the engine block. If these problems are ignored for long enough, they will render your vehicle immobile, with the cost of repairs being comparable to that of buying a secondhand car.

Here at Auto City, our experienced technicians can help you with:

• Radiator/heater unit repairs and replacement
• Head gasket replacement
• Coolant flush and leak check
• Thermostat check and replacement

Brake Services

Your brakes are the most important safety system your vehicle has. While other safety features, like airbags, can only reduce the severity of an accident, your brakes can also act preventatively, and the difference between an accident and an emergency stop is often decided by the condition of your brakes. 

Your brakes suffer an astonishing amount of wear, routinely bringing over a tonne to a complete stop multiple times a day. For this reason, we agree with brake manufacturers that you should have your brakes checked at least once a year.

Auto City’s skilled brake technicians can provide the following brake services:

• Brake component replcement
• Brake component machining
• Brake hose repairs

Auto Electrical Services

As modern vehicles have increased in complexity, more and more functionality is being handled by the on-board auto electrical network. Here at Auto City, we can provide the following auto electrical services:

• Alternators and starter motors
• Battery check and replacement
• Component test and replacement

Tyres

The condition of your tyres is the deciding factor in your vehicle’s handling and traction. If your tyres are in poor condition you are in danger of aquaplaning, increased stopping distance and skidding or losing control of your vehicle.

Here at Auto City we can provide puncture repairs and new tyres from major brands for all makes and model of:

• Car
• Truck
• 4WD
