Alright, this one’s for anyone who’s tried to look us up and went, “Hang on, is it Grimmer, Grimar, or something else?” Happens all the time, especially if you’re trying to Google us while sitting in the car at a red light on Ohaupo Road or waiting for the kids after hockey practice out in Cambridge. Names can be a right pain to spell, and with Kiwi accents, sometimes what you’re typing just doesn’t match what you meant. We see it heaps at the workshop, people turn up and say, “Couldn’t find you online! Tried every combo under the sun.”

Why spelling matters when finding a mechanic in Hamilton

Out on the streets—or crawling through Forest Lake or negotiating those speed bumps in Flagstaff—you want to find the right spot fast, especially if your Nissan Qashqai or Suzuki Swift’s making a noise that’s not right. Cars don’t wait for spelling to get it right. If you muck up searching for us on Google, it can send you around the houses. End up on some dodgy listing for a workshop in Glenview, and suddenly you’re nowhere near Frankton or The Base, where you meant to be! We get customers from Morrinsville, Te Awamutu, even Ngaruawahia or Huntly turning up, saying, “That search engine wasn’t on my side, eh!”

Different ways people spell Grimmer Motors

Let’s be honest, Grimmer’s one of those names people spell all sorts of ways. We’ve seen it all over the years on service slips, emails, and even spray-painted on the side of a mate’s old Ute once (“Grimmir Motors” – classic). There’s Grimmermotors, Grimmers Motors, Grimer Motors, Gimmer, Rimmer, Grimner, Grinner, the lot. Even got one from a Skoda Octavia owner who wrote “Grammar Motors” in her calendar. Good for a laugh around the lunch table. Then there’s the combo names like Grymmar Motors or Gremmer Motors. Doesn’t matter what’s on the badge—Toyota Aqua, Peugeot 3008, or that old Honda CR-V—we’ve seen every spelling you can think of when people are trying to book a car service or WOF Hamilton-wide.

If you’re tapping away searching for:

  • Grimmermotors
  • Grimers Motors
  • Gimmer Motors
  • Gramma Motors
  • Grimmir Motors
  • Gremmer Motors
  • Rimmer Motors
  • Grommer Motors
  • Griner Motors
  • …or honestly, anything that sorta sounds like Grimmer.

Yep, you’re in the right place. Not to mention, if you chuck Grimmer in with all sorts of weird versions of “Motors,” you might see a few of these fly past from Google:

  • Moters
  • Motars
  • Moturing
  • Moturs
  • Mtors
  • Motores
  • Moaters
  • Motres
  • Motorz
  • Moetors
  • Mootrs
  • Miters
  • Moyers
  • Notors

The thing is, no matter what you put in, you’re probably after us for your next service, hybrid repair, or just trying to find a reliable spot for that dodgy rattle under the dash, heading to or from Rototuna or Claudelands. Whether it’s for the family Ford Everest, a Mazda Axela, or a little VW Up! we’ve got you sorted once you make it through the spelling maze.

Quick tip from the pit

Don’t stress if Google’s having an off day and can’t auto-correct for you. If you’re close, you’ll still probably land on our page—especially if you add “Hamilton” or “car service Hamilton.”

And if you’re helping a mate stuck on SH1 by Horotiu or on boundary road in Tamahere, just tell them to look for us at “Grimmer Motors, Hamilton” and they should spot us easy.
