Our Team

The team

Our team of qualified diesel and petrol mechanics has the expertise required to keep your vehicle running smoothly. We pride ourselves on friendly service, high quality workmanship, and a willingness to tackle the harder jobs as well as those that are more routine.

Owners Chris and Kate Wimsett live locally on a small rural property on the outskirts of Katikati. Chris has nearly two decades of experience in the heavy vehicle and automotive industry in both New Zealand and Australia, and he’s the one managing the workshop day to day. Kate looks after our human resources processes and works tirelessly behind the scenes to keep things running like a well-oiled machine.

Mat and I totally recommend these guys. We have a 1954 bus that needed the back brakes sorting out. They took the time to work out what was wrong and then fixed it. All right on Christmas time and squeezed us in. All at a very reasonable price. Thank you Chris and Hunter. Excellent AAA + service.
