Akaroa is such a transient town with heaps of visitors, and this garage’s service is absolutely impeccable. They genuinely have a “yeah, we can do that no problem” attitude, and nothing felt like too much of an ask. Even compared to my regular local garage back home (who I have a good relationship with), where you’re often told it’ll take “3 - 4 business years,” these guys were focused on getting you back on the road as quickly as possible.
Graeme was a lovely bloke super chatty, helpful, and happy to swap stories about his adventures in old vehicles. If I could give these guys 6 stars, I would. Just awesome.

We stopped at NPD Petrol Service Center to fix our flat tyre. They found a puncture on the rear left tyre and assisted us quickly and in a friendly manner. They fixed it efficiently, and we were able to continue our long drive back to Auckland safely. Thank you for the great assistance!

The mechanic helped us on a Sunday after our car broke down. He charged us a reasonable price and was very kind. The staff was also very friendly! Highly recommended 😊

Absolutely will never buy gas again here. I have been a regular for over a decade & my card malfunctioned today. The 'nice' woman said I couldn't leave until the $30 bill was paid. Instead of letting me leave & paying on the Internet at home, she made me do it on site. Duvauchelles just picked up a regular.

A big thank you to Graham for coming out so promptly and fixing the problem we were having with our car up on Summit Road. And to the lorry driver who stopped to help and phoned the garage for us. Lovely people.
