"Bloody awesome guys to deal with….always available to speak to, passionate about what they do and fantastic customer service, highly recommended!!!"

Wayne Cornwall - June 2026
"Taupo Automotive proved to be a godsend for me, firstly they diagnosed a problem that others had missed, secondly they ordered a new part from overseas and dealt with the insurance company, thirdly the service and communication was exceptional and lastly the repair job was done in a timely manner to the high standard that I expected. Good work team at Taupo Automotive and thank you"

Catherine Giles - June 2026
"What an awesome team of lovely people! We turned up, in peak season, in desperate need of help as travelling from UK with our grandson in a beaten up old VW campervan which only worked in 3rd & 4th gear! The team squeezed us in and sorted us out completely! We really appreciated their brilliant help and awesome attention to detail! HUGE thanks!"

“My go to mechanic for more than 10 years. I have used Darren & Karen's service for 4 cars now and have bought and sold from them too. Can't recommend these guys enough.”

Sue Tiria - June 2026
“Great service. Diagnosed why my BMW X5 was dead, ND fixed the problem. Pine tree pollen had blocked the drain plugs in the sun roof causing rainwater to flood the cabin and soak the battery in the boot. This caused multiple faults to show in the computer, and prevented the car from starting. These guys fixed it in a few days for me. Brilliant service”

Chris Mardon - January 2026
"Super fast service. Staff is really kind and humble. I was a bit late but still they entertained me and gave me the best service they could. DEFINITELY GONNA BE MY PERMANENT PLACE FROM NOW ON. Thank you so much"
