* RIP OFF * - PRONTO AUTOMOTIVE BEACH HAVEN

Gillian from Birkdale

Be warned these guys are IN THE BUSINESS TO RIP YOU OFF. I took my car in for a WOF and we let them know of the car's misfire. However, when I picked up my car they told me they ran a diagnostic check and wrote down what the issue was and that it had to to with the ignition coil. But when I asked for the diagnostic print out they said they didn't have one because their printer wasn't working (yet they provIded me with a printed invoice??) and then I asked them to email or scan it to me, which they said they couldn't do either. This lead me to believe they DIDN'T DO THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AT ALL. I paid $100 for the diagnostic check but I highly doubt they ran it through the machine and simply came to their own conclusion that it was the ignition coil when he told me he done the diagnostic check. BE WARNED these guys take money from you and tell you they perform a service but cannot provide the diagnostic print out, which should be given to a customer when a diagnostic check is done on the machine at all mechanic shops. After speaking to another mechanic, he said the issue was not the coil, so I paid 100 bucks for them to make an assumption based on information we gave them. I also bought a new coil which cost me a further $200 for which I have to try to return. NO DIAGNOSTIC CHECK was done which means they RIPPED ME OFF. Do not use these guys, very unprofessional service.

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....

In one word, how would you define 2024?

We're excited to see what you come up with!

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
