I was reluctantly selling my little blue Mazda. She was slightly shabby, the poor old girl, and was…read moremissing a strip down the side (I've since learned is called a body mold). This may sound like a simple, aesthetic car part, but I couldn't find it absolutely anywhere. I called pretty much every wreckers/ car parts place in Auckland and had no luck. Until I tried Cascade Pakuranga and a nice young chap, Neil answered. They too were out of body molds, God dammit. But instead of just hanging up like everyone else, Neil kindly took down my details, and said he would try and order one in for me. THANK YOU NEIL. I was very appreciative that they went out of their way for me (and Bluey) when no one else could be bothered. Cascade Pakuranga rocks.

I've taken my car to Schofields for a Warrant of Fitness a number of times, and the staff have…read morealways been super friendly and helpful. They seem to genuinely care about you and returning your car in great condition. They clean the inside and spray the tyres to make them shine as part of their services. What I don't like is how picky they are with the WOF, and it always seems to cost quite a bit to get things fixed. Still, I return because they know Nissans extremely well, and I can count on a great service each time.

We hunted around the different tyre shops looking for good prices on good tyres, didn't just want…read morecrap ones or the most expensive either. I probably called about 6 or 7 different places, I needed to get 4 new tyres, plus they needed to install new rims. I also needed somewhere where they could do this while I was there. Hyper Tyres offered the best package which included everything I needed including wheel alignment and balance. While the job was being done they found that new bolts were needed also, they gave me a cost which I wasn't too happy with it, they ended up selling me the bolts at cost, good on them !! Hyper Tyres have just about every tyre you need, from everyday tyres to performance tyres, they also do car alarms, audio, tinting and lots more. All in all they did a great job and at a very competitive price, the only thing was they did take a bit longer than they had originally advised.
