As summer approaches and locals prepare for road trips, beach visits and whānau catchups, Kenepuru Car Service Centre is making sure Porirua vehicles are safe, reliable and ready for the season ahead.
Proudly family-owned and community-focused, Kenepuru Car Service Centre operates out of three locations, Tawa, Kenepuru Drive, and their newly added Panel and Paint Division in Elsdon. For over two decades, the business has been trusted by drivers across Tawa and Porirua for honest, high-quality vehicle servicing and repairs.
“We know how important it is for people to have a car they can rely on,” said owner Russell. “Our job is to keep you moving, whether it’s for work, school runs or summer holidays.”
Their experienced team of mechanics services all makes and models, offering full mechanical and electrical repairs, Warrant of Fitness (WOF) checks, air conditioning servicing, safety checks, and puncture repairs. They also provide Bronze, Silver and Gold vehicle service packages, tailored to different needs and budgets.
The Elsdon-based Panel and Paint Division covers everything from WOF repairs and resprays to crash damage and underbody sealing. Courtesy vehicles and trailer hire are available, helping customers stay on the road during repairs.
The Tawa branch is also home to the Gasoline Alley Coffee Caravan, serving up Havana coffee, snacks and cold drinks while customers wait.
“We’re not just a workshop, we’re part of the community,” Russell said. “That’s why we back our work with a 10,000 km or six-month warranty on all workmanship.”
With a reputation for no-pressure service and practical advice, Kenepuru Car Service Centre continues to be a go-to for local drivers looking for experience they can trust.
