Frequently Asked Questions

Can you just plug into my car to tell me what’s wrong?

Plugging in a diagnostic computer is part of the diagnostic process but does not always lead directly to the cause of the fault. It can only see each component as 1 circuit and cannot tell if it is the component or the circuit to it. That is where we need to test to see if it is the sensor, the circuit to it or something influencing it.

Yes, if diagnosis is required. The first part of any auto electrical job requiring diagnosis is to find out the cause of the issue and what needs replacing. This takes time and can vary from job to job. Whatever it is, we’ll make sure to communicate clearly with you so there are no hidden surprises.   

Only for commercial machinery when it cannot come to us. Any diagnosis or repair is far more efficient in our workshop where we have all the technology, information, spare parts and combined skills and intelligence.

Absolutely. We carry more than 5000 products, parts and accessories, and have the parts for your job in stock, from lights to batteries, alternators and starter motors, coils, HID headlamp bulbs, ignition modules, and fuel pumps for all common makes and models. If we don’t carry it, don’t worry. We’ll order it in for you and you will get it at the right price.

Yes, we can. We travel frequently to Tutukaka and Marsden Cove to service vessels of all shapes and sizes. Our technicians service trailer boats, commercial fishing boats, and yachts. Batteries, charging systems and battery management systems, navigation lights, anchor winches, and rewiring, we can help in a way that’s tailored to your needs and budget.

No, sorry. On Saturdays and Sundays, we like to spend time with our families.

No, we don’t have a courtesy car, but our service is fast and efficient, and we’ll make sure to get you back on the road as soon as possible.
