Testimonials From Our Customers

"It's rare that you hear people raving about their mechanics, but I have been raving about Kelvin Armstrong Auto Repairs for a month now. A few weeks ago I drove into a bus, damaging my front guard, fender, suspension and steering. Although in shock, I managed to limp to my husband's mechanic (KAAR), at the time I was a little unsure as to where to start with the repair, panel beaters first or mechanical workshop? The team at KAAR just said leave it with us, we'll sort everything out for you. The following day they contacted me to inform me when I should expect the car back, they took me through the repair process and asked if there was anything besides the insurance work I would like done. I really appreciated this mindful follow up because I was able to repair the damage from the accident and tidy up the rest of the vehicle for resale in the future (2 jobs in one hit). When I picked up the car it gleamed (I don't think it's ever been so clean), all the dents and bumps were gone, and the steering and brakes were fixed. The car and I left the workshop purring. When I think KAAR, I think super efficient and thoughtful. These guys meet your expectations and more."

"As a result of expansion and the need for larger premises, Doyle Sails New Zealand Ltd moved from the Westhaven area to Rosebank Road at the beginning of 2009. This move has given us the opportunity to merge all of our three previous premises into the one purposely fitted out building. It has also opened up new suppliers to us, one of these being Kelvin Armstrong Auto Repairs.

As we have a small fleet of business cars, together with a larger number of staff cars, having a good automotive workshop nearby is a bonus. Since our move we have had Kelvin maintain, repair and valet our cars and have not been disappointed with the service. We know we can rely on good communication and service from Kelvin and his efficient and pleasant team."

"Hi Kelvin,

Just a quick note to say thanks for the service on my car the other week.

As usual, great customer service from Carl and yourself, and no problems with the work either, thanks to the guys in the workshop. Courtesy car was good too (this is a service that has greatly assisted me).

It was the first time I booked online which was easy and provided a fast response. I also liked the text to say my car was ready."

"Hi Kelvin,

I recently got a WOF reminder from you guys forwarded through from my old address - and while I'd love to come get the Camry serviced with you boys again, sadly I've moved to Wellington and while I survived driving Ellerslie to Avondale for a few years for services I don't think I can make it up from Welly!

But since I hold you gents in high esteem for the great work you've done since I started bringing the car to you guys in 2003... know any good mechanics in Wellington?

If not, don't worry about it - but just wanted to say thanks for all the effort over the last four years, and all the best!"

I would not hesitate to recommend Kelvin Armstrong Auto Repairs for your servicing requirements, which are also carried out at competitive rates."

"Atlas Glass has been using Kelvin Armstrong Auto Repairs since October 2004 when I bought the company, I have found Kelvin to be always helpful, courteous with nothing being too much trouble for his clients. He always gives me quality advice that is relevant to the vehicle in question.

We have a large fleet of vehicles and Kelvin and his staff go out of their way to make sure our vehicles are serviced to our complete satisfaction. We now insist that Kelvin services our new vans after there first service because of his high standards the warranties are still valid.

Kelvin and his team will drop what they are doing should any of our vehicles have a problem and will arrange to go to where vehicle is and make sure it can be driven or arrange transport for our staff and vehicle back to his garage.

The move to Kelvin Armstrong Autos has saved us money, as well, our vehicles are off the road less and the pick up and delivery saves me sending staff off site giving them more time on the job."
