good reliable reasonable mechanic please
kia ora lovely neighbours
sorry, probably been asked before - but I'm looking for recommendations for a good reliable reasonable mechanic please
prefer Henderson - but open to suggestions
I have a good friend of mine who recently bought a car from a car dealership in south auckland (trying to move back this way - so car is currently here, out west)
he JUST got it and the transmission has issues - Mazda I think - this is waaay outside my area of expertise - I think he has rights (since he bought it from a dealership...?) - (thankfully, usually it's a 'mate' - & he spends more money getting it fixed, than pay for the car itself, or what it's worth)
anyway - last I heard it was trying to get it fixed from some place - pay them up front ($400, $500)- then try to get money back from the dealership (?) - and/or - trade the FIXED car (paid for out of pocket) in for another one - PAYING THEM yet *more money* - (argh - what?)
also *MY* WoF has expired
have - been going to my mother's old mechanic other side of the city (was her car before she moved into a retirement community in Nelson) - but needed a new battery a few months ago and people were going - you paid HOW much? ($200ish - he said it was new, 3 year warranty - told paid far too much - should have been about $50 ~sigh!~ ) so looking for someone I can TRUST - who won't rip me off, either of us off - reliable, reasonable, trustworthy...
please & thank you!
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
38.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
🎉 Riddle me this, legends! 🎉
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
(Shezz from Ngāruawāhia kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Shezz!)
