Some kind words from our customers

“AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME”

You recently helped us out with a new tyre on our rental tyre and I wanted to leave a review for you if you can use it to show your wonderful customer service.

… Wendy was so helpful when we called to ask if there was availability to get a new tyre after we had a puncture on the first day of our road trip. Kevan and his team were so friendly and helpful and explained everything to us and were able to get a new tyre quickly. They were even kind enough to give us a free voucher for a hot drink in the local bakery while we waited.

Thank you so much to Kevan who was so friendly and got us on the road again as fast as possible. Would definitely recommend services to anyone.

With kind thanks and best wishes,

Megan and Dom

“Highly recommend”

Fantastic service from start to finish, placed call to them and while they investigated the details, I had a reply within 15min about when they can do job and quoted price. Job was done as requested but the attention to detail and the extra things they did made it even more satisfying even washing my car and lollies waiting on the car seat at collection, those little things will make me continue to use them as they obviously care about me as a customer.

” Really a great team”

From the first moment we felt welcome with Kevan and his team, both personally and professionally. Really a great team, a great guy. The repair was first class and the car was available to us again very quickly.

If you ever come to germany, call me! You got my number :)

“You shine brightly!”

Upon arriving at Central Automotive Taranaki today after travelling through road works and having a stone get caught in one of the wheels making one hell of a screeching noise…I walked in off the street and asked if they could have a quick look at the issue for me as I needed to get back to Wellington asap. Kevin and his team immediately without hesitation informed me they would look at immediately on the spot, and within 15-20 mins after removing several wheels they found the stone causing the screeching noise and sorted the issue. The reception staff were also very friendly and professional. Whilst waiting I see Kevin and his wife have given 27 years to the local volunteer fire brigade, obviously this family and their business are one of the communities finest. As I picked up my car, Kevin even placed a small packet of sweets in the car for me to enjoy on my way back to Wellington. The service here is first class and as I left I said to Kevin you dont get this sort of professional and prompt attitude to service very often – he and his team and family are to be highly recommended. Well done Central Taranaki Automotive – you shine brightly!

“Excellent job”

Hello Kevan and Wendy, your daughter and the rest of team at Central Taranaki Automotive, I would like to thank you, show my appreciation and give a complement about an excellent and prompt service I received from your company on Friday 7th October 2022.

I came with an urgent request for my car to be fixed in a short notice, because I needed to travel back to Auckland the following day (today). You dropped everything so that you could order the parts, and send your daughter

to New Plymouth to pick the parts. And to top it off, you had my car washed which it was full of mud. And you had shined the tyres. This is what I called real service. Excellent job. Team work. Very caring. And also promptly service. Thank you so much. I know where to go for my car to be serviced if I am in Taranaki again. I have and I will recommend Central Taranaki Automotive Limited to my families and friends. Thank you once again Kevan & Wendy and the rest of the team.

From happy and grateful customer.

“I am truly grateful.”

This business by far is the best business I’ve ever come across I was so lucky when I googled Central Automotive Stratford the Thursday before Easter weekend mins before the business closed. The owner Kevan answered he said sure come in. Fortunately Kevan diagnosed my car radiator problem and charged me a very fair price. I drove of a completely satisfied customer.

Before visiting Kevan and his crew I had problems with my car for almost a year. I really thought I’d be calling the wreckers to collect my car for auto salvage on this occasion. But thanks to the thoughtfulness and expertise of Kevan!! My car was saved and its running perfectly with no radiator leakage at all. Huge thank you to this business for going the extra mile to satisfy your customer. I am truly grateful. Thank you Central Taranaki Automothve 😁

“Very professional”

Highly recommend Central Taranaki Automotive! Very professional and friendly. We were just travelling through when we had some engine problems. They sorted us out the next day with no problems at all and took us in to explain the issues in depth! Best mechanic I’ve been to! The lollies at the end were also appreciated.

“Outstanding Work”

Had an unfortunate incident with our Motorhome phoned Kevan and his team and they towed us back to the garage and undertook repairs and had us on the road again fully functional. Ever so grateful for the professionalism and willingness to drop everything else and help us out. Highly recommended business.

I can highly recommend Central Taranaki Automotive. The service provided is exceptional. They go the extra mile and give honest and clear advice. Fast and reliable service and extremely reasonably priced. If you are in the area, don’t go anywhere else. You will not regret it.

“Blown away”

Had my service done on my X-trail and wow I’m blown away with the service they provide they even washed my car and a free bag of Lollies! It’s those little things that make a huge difference! See you guys in 6 months’ time.

“Brilliant surprise”

Fantastic service this morning at Central Taranaki Automotive, definitely went over and above for me with my service, car wash was a brilliant surprise (definitely needed it) and the lollies on the seat was a great touch. Thanks guys, will be back.

– Holly Johnston

“Really friendly”

Awesome service. I got there with a tyre problem, and they were really friendly, professional, quick and all good you just want to form your service. One of the best services I was in New Zealand. Definitely would go back.

“100% recommend”

Wow what service! 100% recommend and would make my regular if I didn’t live in Wellington! Kevan and the team went out of their way (including pulling one of their old auto electricians out of retirement!) to get us back on the road as we were travelling through. We had a scary moment in the middle of the forgotten highway with no phone service where the starter motor solenoid wouldn’t engage, we stayed up on the side of Taranaki that night and a similar thing happened so the next morning we zipped into town to see if we could get it sorted before moving on any further, Kevan and the team were super accommodating and got us back on the road in hours with great service and a great price too! We were able to head back up the mountain and still get all the hiking in we had planned for the day!
