Need a good mechanic in Hamilton who actually knows what your car’s dealing with? Whether you’re running errands along Te Rapa Straight, battling the roundabouts in Rototuna, or cursing those potholes down Ngaruawahia way, you just want a workshop that looks after your car without the hassle. That’s what we do here at Grimmer Motors.
We’ve been here in Hamilton for over 85 years. Seen just about every sort of car trouble you can imagine – from sticky Mazda Demios picking up kids out in Flagstaff, to a Honda Fit limping in from Cambridge, right through to European gear like a Skoda Octavia that got a bit unhappy on River Road after the cold snapped. We treat every car like it was our own, whether it’s your family’s runabout, a flashy executive wagon, or your trusty workhorse ute.
Why Locals Trust Grimmer Motors
- Decent Prices – No Surprises: Our hourly rate is $104 (including GST), proper fair compared to others around town, most of them are charging $138 these days. That’s a chunk saved every hour. Suss out our price estimator if you want a ballpark on your job.
- Top-Notch Parts: No shortcuts, no dodgy stuff off the back of a truck – we use quality parts and materials for all repairs and servicing. From Hyundai Getz rotors to Euro diesel filters, it’s done right.
- Down-to-Earth, Real Service: Plenty of customers just pop in for a yarn and a checkup, been coming back for years. Whether you’re a car-smart bloke from Morrinsville or a busy mum from Tamahere, we make sure you’re comfortable and know what’s happening under the bonnet.
- Properly Qualified: We’re in the Auto Super Shoppes network, MTA certified, and all our techs are trained and clued-up – not just on old Falcons but on the newer stuff too, like Nissan Leafs or the odd Audi A3 hybrid.
- Eco-Aware: We do our bit for the environment – recycling oils, sorting battery disposal, plus we know our way around hybrid repair and EV servicing for all you Prius or Leaf owners plugging in around Hamilton East or out in Raglan.
How We Can Help – Real Jobs, Every Day
We sort a heap of services every week – not just your usual WOF Hamilton checks. Got a Toyota Aqua that’s struggling with the school run in Dinsdale? Maybe your Suzuki Swift’s brakes feel spongy going over the speed bumps near Chartwell. We handle things like:
- Full WOF inspection and repairs (special offers here)
- Headlight or taillight fixes – especially handy after a rogue trolley ding at The Base carpark
- Engine diagnostics – knocking noises, rough idles, or just a check engine light refused to go out on a Mitsubishi Outlander
- Spark plug swaps, battery replacements
- Brake repairs
- Starter motors, alternators, radiator and cooling system faults
- Cambelt and timing belt work, head gasket leaks – seen plenty on Subarus coming in from Huntly!
- Exhaust repairs, general fixes, and heaps more stuff that crops up in real life
Bonus Extras – Because Why Not?
Book any job over $100, drop the car with us before 8:30am, pick up after 2:30pm, and you get:
- FREE basic car vacuum
- FREE tyre shine
- FREE dash polish
We’ve also got an air-conditioned waiting room if you want to stick around, plus WiFi to keep the kids (or yourself) occupied. Need a courtesy car? Ask us, might be one handy depending what’s booked in that day.
