Peugeot Repairs & Honest Advice in Hamilton
Trouble with your Peugeot? You’re not alone, mate—around Hamilton, we see everything from 208s and 308s to the odd 5008 SUV with a wonky sensor or a weird rattle. Whether you’re living close by in Flagstaff or Pukete, or commuting in from Cambridge or Te Awamutu each day, our team at Grimmer Motors has had our hands on just about every Peugeot model that’s rolled through NZ in the last 20 years.
Here in Hamilton, our roads aren’t exactly gentle on cars—between all the stop-start at the traffic lights on Ulster Street or speed bumps down Peachgrove Road, it’s easy for your brakes or suspension to start groaning. Add in the potholes out Morrinsville way and the rough patches heading out through Rototuna, and your Peugeot gets a proper Kiwi workout. It’s no wonder we see so many for everything from basic oil changes to electrical gremlins!
Worried About Your Warranty?
Lots of folks think they have to trek all the way back to the dealer for service, or risk voiding their warranty. Not true. We use legit oils and parts (all the good stuff, no dodgy short-cuts), so your Peugeot’s warranty is safe as houses. You don’t need the drama—just good honest servicing and repairs by people who know what they’re up to, from quick WOFs to full cambelt jobs.
Got a Dash Light On? We Can Help
Modern Peugeots love to light up that dashboard like a Christmas tree if something’s off. Seen that check engine or some random warning lately? One of our techs will plug in our latest scan gear—same stuff as the big dealerships—and pinpoint the problem. That means you’re back on the road faster, whether it’s a sensor, a flat battery, or something weird in the electrical side. Learn more about our fault code reading service >
