Extremely overpriced service and poor communication…read more After hearing great things about Scott Baird Automotive from family and friends, I was extremely disappointed with the two car Services I received this year. For the first service (my partners car), I asked that if there were any issues with the car, these would be quoted before they proceeded with remedying them. I was contacted later by Scott who said there were issues, and made it seem like he had already remedied them but did not discuss any pricing or cost of this, so I assumed they were minor. When I arrived to pick up my car, I was charged far more than what was inferred as the 'genuine' parts ordered were purchased directly from the manufacturer. Apparently this brief phone call was confirmation of my agreement to proceed with remedying these significant issues, when it was vague and communicated poorly. I decided to give Scott Baird Automotive a second chance for my car given the good things I had heard about them (big mistake). On this occassion I only received a standard car service (Oil and Filter Change + minor works and ensuring car was up to spec) and was charged $250 labour for 2 hours work, $400 all up. Furthermore, they will only install 'genuine' parts that are ordered directly from the manufacturer (in my case Honda) who charge excessive rates for their parts, so you're better off going straight to your car manufacturer for your service if you are going to pay a premium anyway. Only reason for 2 stars is for the work they carried out was up to a high standard and Scott came across as genuine, but their labour and service costs are extremely overpriced and poor value for money.

Scott Baird Automotive has long been our family mechanic, and this has been so for a reason…read more They are prompt to service and brutally honest regarding the likely duration they will be working on your car. I have had all problems associated with my car over the years fixed, without any recurring issues. My car often ends up cleaner than it was after the service. I am consulted before any repairs are made and effort is made to source the best value parts. Loan cars are available with all staff at the business very friendly and keen to help. I have had problems fixed by just turning up and they immediately have helped and solve the issue without cost. They are in a great location of Glen Innes if in the Eastern Suburbs and are close enough also if further south-east.

Although located out of the way from the CBD they are a slightly more affordable mechanic. It's worth the drive. They offer $30 WOF services and specialise in vehicle servicing, tyres, upholstery, electrical repairs, rust repairs, brake and clutch repairs, and suspension. Although the premise looks a little run down, don't let that put you off. After servicing your vehicle they give the exterior a spray down, giving it back looking nice and shiny and new. But like going to any mechanic, make sure you call them up and get a quote before booking in. They do not have a website, but here are some details from the yellow pages www.yellow.co.nz/y/georges-automotive

Hello Everyone, I…read morewould like to share that, I had a wonderful experience dealing with the entire team of Auckland Motors Mitsubishi. Especially our sales manager Mr. Phil. He provided very prompt and excellent service during our sales procedure. He provided accurate information about the car I was after. Even during Vehicle delivery, excellent arrangements were made which made our day Very special. Had an overall pleasant experience here, we would certainly come back again when the need arises. Thank you, Phil and your team. Regards Saurabh Risbud

I wanted to give a big shout out to Ana (who monitors the Beaurepaires Facebook page) and Andrew…read more(service manager at 126 Great North Road). My family was visiting from the USA. We hit a pothole and blew out the tire. The rental company said it was our responsibility to replace the tire so that's how we ended up at Beaurepaires. Our understanding was that we would be able to store our vehicle overnight and not rush back from our sightseeing. We were off to Paihia the next day and figured we'd get the car the next morning and be off. The only communication we had with the shop was email. We received confirmation our vehicle was ready and responded back that we'd be back to pick it up the next morning. We did not read email until that evening and to our utter dismay, we were told the shop would be closed for Waitange Day and would not be able to pickup the vehicle until the following day. In desparation, we replied to the email and sent a message via Facebook. To our surprise, Ana responded to us at 9pm and said she would try to help. The next morning, Ana was able to arrange for Andrew the service manager to meet us at the service center. Andrew lived over 1/2 an hour away, but drove in on his day off to open up the service center just for us. Ana and Andrew went way above and beyond the call of duty. We only had 3 nights in Paihia with many activities scheduled so Ana and Andrew really helped save our vacation! Beaurepaires has two excellent employees in Ana and Andrew who really care about their customers!

Not being able to get a WOF is normally an indication that I need to get new tyres for my car…read more Tyres aren't even that expensive, but it is just not something I don't budget for, so I'm always grumpy about forking out hard earned cash. The boys at VTNZ advised that I won't get a sticker unless I replace my two rear tyres, so they had me by the short and curlies. No running away from this one, I decided to go to the first place I could find, and that was Megatyre down the road. The guys very quickly replaced the old worn tyres, and quickly fitted two brand new beauties. I was back on the road with WOF on the window and sporting a smile; plus the price was more than reasonable.

I was after the cheapest tires possible but they weren't currently in stock. Brian informed me he could get them by 11am but I needed to be at work by 10am, so I informed him I unfortunately would need to go down the road to his competitor. He then swung me a deal for better tires that he had in stock for the same price! Legend!!!

I love the AA on Cavendish. I came here to finally get my learners licence a month ago (I'm a very,…read morevery late bloomer) and when I went in to book, was served by a lovely older man. He was really friendly, and was really helpful with suggesting what resources to use. I picked up the new road code and he mentioned the practice tests you could take at home- they were a lifesaver! i went home fully equipped and all the necessary paperwork; I was really happy with the service I'd gotten that day. The following week, i took my test on a Friday morning. I was terribly early but there was heaps of seating available (as there would be at 8:30am). My test started right on time and everything went smoothly. I'm just really impressed with the staff here, they would have to deal with a lot of different issues and they manage to keep their cool the entire time. It can get pretty busy here because its a popular branch to book you practical driving tests, so there's always people waiting for them. There are a number of staff at the customer service desks so they tend to get through everyone fairly quickly. This has to be my favourite AA branch that I've visited; they've really got everything you need, and the excellent customer service is jut the cherry on top.
