Wheel Alignment

Having your wheels aligned correctly is an important part of keeping your vehicle performing optimally. Properly aligned wheels ensure your car handles properly, and therefore increases the life of your tyres. Ever felt that irritating symptom of your car constantly pulling to one side? That’s the cause of misaligned wheels.

Fog Light Replacement

In New Zealand, we have plenty of hills, valleys and cool mornings. These are perfect conditions for fog and you need to see where you're going. Fog lights protect you and the drivers around you. There’s no such thing as too much visibility, rather than get into an early morning fender-bender, turn your fog lights on and be safer on the road.

Reverse Light Bulb Replacement

When you’re reversing out of your driveway, car park or parallel parking in general, it’s good to know what you’re doing. Better yet, it’s good for everyone else to have a clue too! Reversing lights let the world know that you’re having a go.

Windscreen Chip Repair

A chip or crack typically arises from an impact, 9 times out of 10 caused by a stone on the road flicked up by the vehicle travelling in front. Windscreen repairers have gone as far as labelling different types of chips based on the impact and damage done, such as a crater, horseshoe, star or bullseye.
