I noticed some shaking and my car struggled to accelerate and climb hills so I brought my Honda in for inspection and Karl gave a very quick diagnosis. He also offered me with different options where I can choose to be much more cost efficient. Great service and the car feels like a brand new car now! Highly recommended.

M. D.

Very Professional and easy to deal with. Dropped the car off and picked up the following day, even arranged a wheel alignment as well. Transmission service cheaper than expected, would highly recommend.

J. B.

Had to go through 3 "specialists" and ended up with Karl who made it so simple. Really recommend him and his team as they know European cars for sure!

A. F.

Complete rebuild done in great time and Karl was helpful with after sales service. Had another garage do the install , Karl worked through the problem they had caused over the phone and got my Landcruiser sorted . Huge knowledge and a great helpful company to deal with .

G. N. (.

Wow, awesome service from Karl at Aautomotive today, dropped my Dualis in there for assessment at short notice - they were VERY prompt, the service was great and Karl is very knowledgeable and professional. They certainly are my choice for transmission repairs on the North Shore!

Found this place during Auckland Lockdown. I was trying to get my transmission fixed, and am happy with what I did. Karl who is a manager knows what he says and does and is also open to deal with. He puts options upfront that could work for me and was incredibly helpful. He followed all contactless procedures and offered me a reasonable price. Was happy with their service: kiwi looks after kiwi. Highly recommend the team here.

Found this place while trying to get my transmission fixed, and good thing I did. These guys and Karl particularly were awesome to deal with and were very upfront about everything they were doing and were incredibly helpful. Plus the prices were very reasonable especially for my VW, which was working great after the service. Highly recommend the team here.

A. L.

Great service. Went above and beyond. New part was looking to be very expensive. Karl went out of his way to find a second hand part which was affordable and fixed the car.

R. K.

Karl was great and very professional. Extremely impressed with covid safety. He tuned and replaced spark plugs and coil. Would recommend and use again.

I purchased my 1948 Ford F1 Truck in 2013 and from the start he , has been jumping out of top gear on de-acceleration. Numerous people have attempted to fix it, and finally I was told it was an "inherent fault" with the 1948 model. It has been particularly dangerous on the motorway when slowing down in traffic and suddenly the gearstick starts flailing around. Driving with one hand, holding it in place is not an option in high winds, or slowing, turning and trying to indicate, all with one hand or the passenger encouraging the gearstick to stay engaged. Karl was recommended and he immediately said he was able to fix the gearbox, in fact he implied it wasn't a problem and he knew exactly where the fault was located. I was expecting him to have the truck for ever, however, he phoned to explain the diagnosis, then received the parts and it was only a total of a week in the workshop. (this is in restricted Covid times) I picked up the truck on Wednesday, and it is now an absolute pleasure to drive. Thoroughly tested on the motorway - no problem whatsoever. A Automotive and Karl are extremely professional, the result was exactly as promised. Highly recommended.

M. S.

Just had my daughters trans serviced No more vibration, thanks Karl for your prompt calls and service, will be back for my wife's car next. Highly recommend, dont go anywhere else

M. S.

Karl was good at explaining what was needed, approximate timeframes, rang if any difficulties .. then tried to source from other parties as well for other options ... felt good service, good pricing .. recommended!

H. W.

Took my Mazda for routine service and under Covid restriction environment. Karl was able to deliver a true contactless service and yet efficient. I will be back 😃

M. A.

Had transmission built (t350) before rebuilding car. Returned 3 years later when car was built. For a full check over. Absolutely no problem with gear box or time delay 3 years on. Would be happy to recommend Carl and Aautomotive service was excellent nothing was a problem. Gear box working like a charm.

E.

I took my Hilux in with clutch issues and Karl addressed the issue straight away. I left it with him and was ready to go end of next day. Very professional, efficient and friendly service. Would definitely recommend.

p. l.

Karl and his team provided me with a very professional service,reasonable price, highly recommended

M. B.

Great service and fantastic at fixing keys too. Would recommend Karl and his team highly. As I don't know much about cars its great to have an honest and knowledgeable team looking after my car. I encourage anyone to use these guys as they are so good.

N. A.

Highly recommend Aautomotive. They did a full service on my transmission. Very well priced. Job done in a timely manner and very knowledgable and friendly staff and management. Wouldn't hesitate to go back! Thanks lads.....👍

B. J.

I decided to go to Karl with my undiagnosed but clearly sick ‘13 Volvo V40 based pretty much on his positive feedback. Glad I did as a week later I had her back better than ever! Not a cheap and nasty fix but instead quality workmanship! The team also have great “after sales” service as a couple of unrelated issues cropped up that they were happy to spend time on. I would have no hesitation recommending Karl and his team to my friends and family.

K. W.

Recently started using the team at Aauto after my long term mechanic retired. Very happy and recommend. Have been taking my family car as well as classic car and great service for both. Thanks Karl and team!

C. P.

Fixed my Jag transmission .Karl is a great guy to deal with , made me a cup of tea ,had a chat ,did the job on time and car runs great . Highly recommend Karl and his team ,very friendly and helpful.

P. O.

Great service, friendly staff, Amazing vehicles, easy to deal with, A+++

R. H.

I used Karl and his team to repair my BMW transmission and the result was outstanding. I had received quotes from other rebuilders and Karl's quote was much more competitive. They supplied me a courtesy car and got the job done quickly. Overall very pleased with the job and would highly recommend this company.

M. C.

Seriously A+ service from A Automotive. Really friendly service from Karl, who has a wealth of knowledge and made the experience easy and comfortable for someone with little knowledge of cars. My transmission failed in my car on Monday, parts ordered on Tuesday - Karl advised they would arrive within 3 business days, so I was expecting early the following week, but I get a call from Karl saying my car is ready on Friday. Incredibly quick, professional, friendly service, and I will be recommending A Automotive to friends and family in the future. Thank you so much Karl and the team! The level of service is top notch!

E. C.

After having my transmission rebuilt by another trans company in Silverdale who refused to stand by there warranty Karl and his guys fixed my car for me. Very happy with his knowledge and ability. Highly recommend this company for an honest good job.

A. t.

When we needed a TH350 transmission we looked locally in Dunedin but couldn't get the replies we needed to move forward. We seen Aautomotive on a Trademe listing and contacted them directly to enquire. Karl followed up with a phone call to discuss exact requirements and from there the transaction was too easy. The quoted price was really good, and the trans arrived really quickly, the shipping was included in that price, which again was so good! Check out these guys - you wont be disappointed. Cheers Karl - very happy.

A. B.

Had my Hiace diff done by Karl's team , was fixed ahead of schedule and saved me money. Recommend coming to these guys for a top quality job .

N.

My radiator had cracked after doing some long summer driving. Rang Karl and the team up to get a quote on a replacement - Dropped it off the next day and it was repaired within 6 hours. Amazing service would use again!

N. L.

Karl and the team couldn’t have been better! I just got to Auckland for a three week trip and my Transmission had no more life, causing a huge bump in the road! Within 24 hours of bringing it in I had a quote for a replacement at a decent price and a guarantee all would be ok! I was given a courtesy car for well over a week including the entire Easter weekend too, saviour 🙏 Could not recommend more. Your a legend Karl 👍

R. C.

Highly recommended. Carl and his team are skilled, professional and offer great customer service. I took my Outlander PHEV to AAutomotive for a second opinion on a knocking noise, that I had been told by another garage could only be solved by fitting a new $10k gearbox. For $115 Carl diagnosed and fixed the actual problem - a poorly fitted axle nut. He saved me a lot of money. I'd definitely go back and will recommend AAutomotive to friends and family.

T.

I took my car in for a transmission rebuild , Karl and his team were so nice to deal with . I had been to another shop and they had given me a much bigger estimate , so I was very happy that there price was better for the same amount of parts and work . Would I come back , the answer is definitely yes. I am recommending this company to everyone I know , great price , great service , very pleasant guys to deal with .

B. S.

Extremely fast, easy to deal with and got updates along the way of condition of the gearbox and what was required to get it up and going again. My car required a gearbox rebuild and was turned around within a week, wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Thanks again much appreciated

S. L.

I experienced a driveshaft related vibration for 14 months and used and paid for the services of multiple repairers including Beattys Driveline (6 visits to East Tamaki from the Northshore. Mercedes Benz (Northshore 3 visits), all of these repairers failed to identify the problem. ***1 visit to Karl who was an absolute pleasure to deal with and extremely knowledgeable. AAutomotive diagnosed and promptly repaired the issue to my satisfaction at an acceptable rate. Thank you Karl for the Top Notch Service…..thanks Shiraz

j.

I am a female and I am not that familiar with car repairs or for that matter how a car works. My transmission failed in my Audi and Karl and his guys came to my rescue . They did a great job on my car and the price was very good . When I went to pick the car up the nice lady in the office was so pleasant to deal with and very helpful . I would recommend this company highly.

M. T.

E. B.

I cant say enough good words about Karl and his team, they went above and beyond my expectations repairing my Mercedes . The transmission has never gone so well , Karl is a magician when it comes to repairing cars . Top service and a great price, 5 stars is not enough.

J.

If I could give 6 stars I would ,took my Landcruiser for a trans rebuild and Karl's team did a fantastic job . I have owned this vehicle for years and do a lot of towing , Karl's advise on building a different type of converter was spot on .The vehicle has never ran so well and tows my trailer way better. Highly recommend them for a great job .

C. A.

They really took care of me. From not trying to take advantage when they saw I knew nothing about cars, to quickly solving my problem so I could get my car back. Great service, reliable, great value for money. Thanks for saving the day!

R. A.

L. C.

Fantastic response from Karl at AAAutomotive when i called regarding problems with my son's car. He patiently and thoughtfully taked over the problem, likely scenarios and estimated costs and gave me good sound sensble down to earth advice given the cars age and other issues. He even called me back later to see how I got on. I didn't end up taking the car in but based on the honest and professional way I was dealt with I would certainly recommend them!! AAA+

J. S.

The team at aautomotive were absolutely amazing. I had car trouble with 2 of my vehicles in the same week 🤦🏽‍♀️. At my breaking point, Karl at automotive was suggested to me by another mechanic. And he helped me with both vehicles. Price was by far the best and I am so thankful for all the help. Very trustworthy and I will not go anywhere else with my vehicles in future 😁😁😁

T. H.

Hey guys My name is Brad. I've got a nissan xtrail the gear's wouldn't change it was done for. I looked everywhere for some help most of the transmission companies spoke more about money starting at $4500 to $5000 A Automotive here was out of my way I'm from the coromandel they did the job for me and was well worth the effort. Don't look anywhere else guys for all that work my cost at under $2500 and they had more knowledge about my transmission than anyone else. Here's all the help.??? A Automotive thanks again karl.👍👌😀

Great Service amd very helpful team. Repaired Auto Landcruiser transmission. Very Efficient

R. B.

I had transmission problems on a second hand Nissan cube (2006). The transmission was stuffed, the bearings were worn out and metal had gone through the gears. It cost a around $3900 to recondition and has been going smoothly for the last year. I needed something done for my wof and they charged me $100/hour for the work they did! They did a good job but I won't be going back because I felt like they were ripping me off.
