Reliable Service for Reliable Cars

Japanese car playing up? We know these cars like the back of our hand. Built to last, but when they do need attention, you want someone who understands how they tick. No need to pay main dealer prices when we can keep your Japanese car running sweet for a lot less.

We've been servicing Japanese cars for over 10 years. Whether it's a Toyota that's been faithful for years, a Honda that's starting to show its age, or a Mazda with a mystery rattle - we know these cars inside out and we'll get them sorted properly.

Why Kiwis Autos for Japanese & Korean Cars

Why Japanese & Korean Cars are different

Japanese and Korean car brands are unique in several aspects:
  • Built for reliability - but they still need proper care
  • Quality parts and regular servicing keep them going forever
  • Know the common issues for each model and year
  • Respect the engineering - no shortcuts or bodge jobs
How We Service Your Japanese/Korean Car
  1. Bring it in - we'll have a good look and listen
  2. Thorough check with proper diagnostic tools
  3. Honest advice about what needs doing now and what can wait
  4. Quality work that keeps your car reliable for years

Frequently Asked Questions

At Kiwis Autos, our servicing model is simple: we deliver the exact same high-level technical expertise and specialized knowledge you expect from a dealership, combined with the honest pricing, integrity, and personal touch of your local mechanic. If you have a newer vehicle coming out of its standard "3-years free service" scheme, Kiwis Autos is the perfect cost-effective alternative to keep your car running sweet without the hefty dealership price tag.

 

No. Under New Zealand consumer law, you are not legally required to service your car at an authorized dealership to keep your manufacturer's warranty valid. As long as Kiwis Autos services your car according to the manufacturer's specifications and uses genuine or equivalent-quality parts, your warranty remains fully protected.

Yes. Modern vehicles are packed with complex computer systems, which is why we invest heavily in advanced diagnostic scanning equipment. We can accurately read your vehicle’s fault codes, reset engine check lights, and handle onboard software resets just like a franchise dealership would.

Quality matters, which is why we never cut corners on parts or fluids. We use genuine manufacturer parts or certified high-quality equivalents that meet or exceed original specifications. This ensures your vehicle runs perfectly and stays reliable for years.

While exact savings depend on your vehicle's make and model, independent workshops like Kiwis Autos typically cost 30% to 50% less than franchise dealerships. This is because we don't carry the massive corporate overheads of a dealer showroom, allowing us to pass those savings directly on to you through fairer labor rates.

Absolutely. Bundling your regular mechanical service and your Warrant of Fitness (WoF) into a single appointment is one of the best ways to save both time and money. It ensures that both the safety requirements and the mechanical longevity of your vehicle are completely sorted in one go.

We know you are busy, so we aim for a same-day turn-around on most routine maintenance, servicing, and WoF checks. A minor or interim service generally takes 1 to 1.5 hours, while a major comprehensive service takes roughly 2 to 3 hours. If you need to stay mobile, just ask us about our rental/loan car options when booking!
