Kevin has looked after my BMW for the past 3 years and it’s never run better!Kevin is extremely thorough and certainly knows his stuff. He always makes certain to check over my car and always keeps me informed on what needs to be replaced and what needs to be looked at in the near future, as well as letting me know what the outcome will be if not tended to. He uses quality materials and you can tell by the way your car drives after being serviced. It’s hard to find a good mechanic let alone an exceptional one and Kevin is exceptional. Would highly recommend North shore auto if you’re looking for a truly honest and reliable mechanic.

First time i've used North Shore Autocentre. Excellent service provided. Quick turn around, loan car provided and vehicle received beautifully cleaned (unexpected) and value for money. Great communication by Kevin on any further work uncovered during service. Highly recomended.

Great experience and service provided by Kevin. Problems with my door locking system and he did advise I take my business elsewhere first, as it may save me some money - goes to show a good and honest mechanic! Had to come back anyway for his expertise, sourced the parts, and got my car is back to working order in quick time for a fair price! Will definitely use you again! Cheers Kevin.

I had bought a very high mileage car about a week ago and so booked her in for a full service. There wasn’t much to be done (thank goodness) and she’s running like a dream so far. Had a great experience with Kevin, very quick responses and a quick book in. Really felt that he could be trusted. Delighted to find my new car doctor! Thank you Kevin. Jackie

I had let my warrant go past its due date and needed action. It was great to find Kevin's website and soon my car was all set to go. I have come back a second time because my experience was so positive. With text, phone and email options Kevin let me know how things were going at all stages of the repair work and warrant of fitness. If you want peace of mind, no fuss and plain sailing, this is the mechanic to call.

Great service, car wasn't finished when I needed it so the owner lent me his own car, and dropped mine off to my house later that evening! Talk about exceptional service!

I took my car in for a quote and turns out I need a whole new transmission. After speaking to the mechanic about the history of my car he gave me tips on how to take it back to the car dealer and get them to fix it. Yet to see how I go down this avenue, but he didn't even charge for the diagnosis. He is honest and genuine. I now won't go anywhere else!

Brett Wilson

Seriously impressed with the service I have received from Kevin. As usual when you do an online lead/quote request, no one gets back to you - but Kevin was on to it within 3-4 hours. The fact he personally does all the work, so knows intimately whats going on, is a real bonus. I wont go anywhere else now - especially as he found a couple of things that other mechanics said they had addressed - and hadn't. All you ever want is a decent job done at a fair price - and this guys ticks all the boxes....and no I am not related to him!

Kevin did major works on my VW. He did a stellar job on the car and I very happy with the service and his workmanship. He even requested that I bring the car back after 2 weeks so he can do a follow-up check on the car. I've found a very good, affordable and reliable mechanic, I won't be look elsewhere. I will definitely recommend Kevin to my friends and family.

I have always had great service from Kevin at NorthShore Autocentre! His workshop is very clean and organised. He is thorough and extremely knowledgeable and my car is running so much better after it’s recent service ?

This was my forth visit to see Kevin. I was once again delighted by the quick turn around and the excellent communication he maintains. Peace of mind is always important. My car is now healthy and powerful again. Driving away from Kevin's I also notice the difference if the car's performance, It's a good things the motorway is nearby. You would be unwise to look past North Shore Autocentre.

Have been going to see Kevin at North Shore Autocenter for over a couple of years now. He has always been very helpful, going the extra mile for anything needed and the quality of work has been amazing. I have already recommended him to several people personally and want to tell everyone else looking online exactly the same. Highly recommended.

Steven Hayes

I have used Kevin for all my cars since moving out to NZ. It is rare to find a mechanic so genuine, trustworthy, honest and helpful. I always know his work is of the highest quality and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. The cost is always reasonable and much cheaper than a BMW garage for the same level of service.

I was referred to Kevin by a colleague last year. Kevin's service has lived up to expectation. He is thorough, and gives easy to understand information on what work he has done, or on what he is recommending and why. A good find!

Rosalie Boag

Excellent service. Highly recommend Kevin, and felt he was very thorough. I rang him with a query re my car a few days later and he was excellent in explaining to me about my concern.

Kevin has fixed our car when other garages couldn't even diagnose or find the problem. He was extremely helpful and communicated with us all the way, provided excellent service and support throughout. Given the level of work that was undertaken and the safety issues that were highlighted (missed by others), we have the utmost confidence in Kevin and would highly recommend him for servicing Volvos. Provided us with a courtesy car and did all of the background work with warranties and insurances, no hassles at all. Thank you and will see you in September! M & H

Thank you again for such good service - went to get a WOF after another nearby mechanic could not do one. He found my automatic transmission recently flushed had not been completed correctly and tightened it up for me. He also explained a few mechanical issues and what it meant which is nice if you know nothing about cars. Will be taking my car services here from now on!

I was recommended Kevin and North Shore Autocentre by another customer. Kevin was able to fit me in quickly for a service and WOF. I found his customer service excellent and was provided with a full and clear quote for the work necessary, which was then also completed efficiently. I'll be returning.

Kevin has looked after our vehicles for 3 years now and I wouldn’t want to to use anyone else. He is reliable, efficient, professional, and always explains clearly what any issues are and what our options are. There is also a courtesy car if you ask in advance which can be handy. Thanks Kevin for always doing an awesome job : )

Stephanie Shore

08:16 06 Apr 21

Kevin is a really genuine honest guy. I've used his service for about 3 years now. I once took my car in because it was feeling strange, he loaned me his courtesy car for the day, and when I came back he said there was no fault...and didn't charge me anything!. His pricing is fair and he looks after my car really well and I trust him.

Thea D

Kevin is professional, friendly, thorough and I found him to have very high standards with his workmanship . He clearly explained what he would do and what he did and messaged me options along the way which I liked. A very clear communicator which can be hard to find sometimes. He did a great job on my car and now it runs like a rocket. Kevin also gave me great advice on how to look after my car with things like oil, tyre pressure etc. 5 stars!

Tim Richardson

08:40 22 Jul 21

I've been taking my vehicles to Kevin for the last 5 years. His vast knowledge and expertise is representative of the quality of his workmanship. He's an honest and straight up mechanic which is why he retains such a loyal customer base.

Samantha Rodrigues

My car was making those embarrassing loud squeaky noises (the kind that make you wish all your windows were tinted) so I took it to Kevin down at the North Shore Autocenter. He'd had a look and suggested changing the drive belt to start off. I ended up mixing up the dates for my appointment but Kevin took me in despite that drama (sorry Kevin!). He also checked all other parts of the car that could have been responsible for the noise after changing the drive belt to make sure things were running quiet. I've had no issues since. Thanks again for squeezing me in Kevin! Would definitely recommend!! :D

Briar Thorman

22:46 02 Aug 21

Very trustworthy and explained everything clearly. Fit me in at the last minute. Couldn't be happier!
