Car Servicing and Fleet Services
Maintaining your vehicle on a regular basis will help ensure its safety, reliability and fuel economy along with preventing expensive repairs to the cooling system, transmission system, drive train and other components. Preventive car servicing reduces wear and tear of the engine, extending the life of your vehicle and keeping you safe on the road.
Te Rapa Automotive offers tailored car servicing based on the requirements of each vehicle we deal with. Every car has different needs, therefore we don’t publish detailed car service plans or set prices for our services.
We service all makes and models of cars, SUVs, commercials and light trucks up to 3000 kg in weight, and specialise in servicing European cars.
We use the best products and methods when we service clients’ vehicles. We don’t cut corners.
If we discover that additional repair work is required on your vehicle to keep it safe and roadworthy, we’ll let you know straight away and provide a quote.
With mechanical insurance, a set service schedule must be followed and often claims are declined because the services have not been carried out properly. Be assured that we adhere to insurance service schedules provided to us.

We service car, commercial and light truck fleets. If you run a car yard and are looking for a vehicle maintenance deal from a reliable partner, then get in touch with us. We are affiliated with Custom Fleet.
