South End Motors

Three Wellington workshops,
one straightforward way of working.

South End Motors has been under the same ownership since 2017, working on European and Japanese cars alike. The Island Bay workshop is the flagship; a second opened in Te Aro in 2024 to catch commuters on their way into the city; and the team has just opened a third in Newtown.

The kind of thing people actually bring us

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

An AdBlue fault reset, done promptly for a customer mid relocation trip — European electronics are exactly what we're set up for.

Mitsubishi Outlander

A failed WOF for fuel tank corrosion, and a straight explanation of the real options instead of an eye-watering dealer-only fix.

Urgent van repair

A power-steering leak on a work van, sorted the same day so the owner could get straight back to the job.
