Where in Auckland should I get my 8 serviced?

Hey guys, does anyone know a good place to get my 8 serviced in Auckland? The closest place for me is North Harbour Ford and Mazda, but I heard that place is ****.

Cheers

The problem we all up come up against is that the dealerships don't see too many 8's. I had a real bad episode down south auckland.

Hey man, serviced it in May but thanks for the offer. Used the DIY thread for servicing, along with our workshop tools

Yeah still coming down after work this Saturday.

south auckland (manukau) is not the best guys to get the rx8 done from, even though i still get it done from them i cant afford the time to take it to north harbour. North harbour has some decent mechanics talked to them over the phone a few times when i had issues.

But tony from "rx7 heaven" (google his number) is awesome he is a rotary specialist and have seen his work first hand on a few cars.

Can you please provide me with contact details of North Harbour mechanics .... Or just about anywhere within 15-20 kms from city centre. Thanks

Tony at rx7 heaven is 20 mins drive from town fyi (12 Andromeda Cres, East Tamaki). Apart from having a good look at his progress on his 8, you really get the feeling that he know's his stuff. I'd far rather someone that knows their stuff than someone that is just that bit closer and chancing it.

The alternative like most of us is to do it yourself....check DIY sticky.
