We understand repair and maintenance can sometimes be expensive and unexpected. We therefore offer a range of payment options for our customers - we are WINZ authorised and accept payment by Genoapay interest free finance, Farmlands, Q Card, Credit Card and Farmers Card.

A pre-purchase inspection is an absolute MUST.
The point of the pre-purchase inspection is to confirm you’re not getting a dud. It’s to confirm the car is going to run, today and into the future. Our mechanic will investigate the engine, radiator, battery, exhaust, tyres and body. They’ll check for oil and coolant leaks, battery issues and poorly done modifications. You need an expert eye on this because even the shiniest car can come with hidden problems under the hood, and usually they’re expensive to fix.
