What our customers say

"Dave diagnosed a misfire my last mechanic couldn't find for two years. Turned out to be a cracked coil pack — $140 fix. Legend."
— Rangi T., Gisborne
"I took my Hilux in for a WOF expecting the worst. They passed it, showed me what they checked and didn't try to upsell anything."
— Sarah L., Wainui
"Our courier van broke down at 4:30 on a Friday. Dave stayed until 7 to get it running. That is why we send every vehicle in our fleet here."
— Mike W., East Cape Couriers

05 · Our Workshop

74 Ormond Road since 1998.

Gisborne Auto Centre was founded by Dave Manu in 1998 with one hoist and a borrowed compressor. Today we run four hoists, a full diagnostic bay and an NZTA-authorised WOF lane. Dave still does the head gaskets himself.
