Our efficient mechanical repairs will get you back on the road
There are plenty of things that can go wrong on a vehicle, but the team at Pakuranga Auto Electrical & Mechanical can get you back on the road promptly. Among the issues we can help with are:
Brake repairs: We provide a free, no-obligation inspection of your vehicle’s braking system, and carry out any necessary repairs ensuring that your vehicle can stop properly when needed.
Suspension: Your car’s suspension not only ensures a smooth ride but also keeps your wheels in proper contact with the road, vital for safe steering and braking. Our technicians have been servicing shock absorbers and struts for over three decades, ensuring your vehicle's safety and comfort.
CV joints: CV joints are essential for transferring torque at a constant speed to the wheels and accommodating the suspension system's motions. Our technicians recommend checking your CV joint boot during every oil change, which can prevent costly joint replacements.
Exhaust systems: No one wants to hear the embarrassing "rattle rattle thunder clatter boom boom boom" coming from their car. We provide a free inspection of your vehicle’s exhaust system to prevent such occurrences and ensure a quieter, more pleasant drive.
Timing belts: A broken timing belt can cause major engine damage and leave you stranded. Regular inspections of the timing belt by our technicians can prevent such unfortunate incidents.
Hoses and pumps: We recommend regular checks of your engine and heating block hoses, along with drive belts. These checks can prevent engine overheating and potential damage, ensuring your vehicle runs smoothly.
Transmission: Transmission repair can be a major, time-consuming, and expensive automotive repair. Regularly scheduled maintenance service by our technicians can help you avoid costly repairs, ensuring smooth shifting and reliable performance.
Oil filters: Regular maintenance is the best way to keep your car running properly. Our expert technicians take care of your fuel filters, lube, radiator, antifreeze, fuel injector cleaning and leaks, ensuring optimal performance.
Radiators: A blocked or leaking radiator can cause your engine to overheat and break down. We recommend having your coolant system professionally inspected by our technicians at least once a year to prevent such issues.
Expert tyre services and wheel alignments
Proper wheel alignment and tyre care extends the life of your tyres, provides better fuel efficiency, a more comfortable ride, and safer driving.
We use computerised wheel alignment, ensuring accurate results every time. We also offer tyre rotations - moving tyres from one position to another to promote even wear. And you can get your tyre pressures checked to ensure they are inflated to the correct pressure.
Your tyres are wearing unevenly. Check for excessive wear on the inside or outside of your tyres.
Your steering wheel is not straight when driving on a straight road
Your car pulls to the left or right when driving on a straight road
Your car vibrates while driving,
You've been involved in an accident or hit a pothole or curb, it may have knocked your wheels out of alignment

Tyre rotation involves swapping the front and rear tyres and the left and right tyres in order to make sure they wear evenly. Tyre rotation can help to:
- reduce uneven tyre wear which can be dangerous
- boost performance and handling
- maintain good braking
- improve fuel efficiency
