I’ve gone to Brad Ward Motors on and off over the years, and they’ve always been great, honest, reliable mechanics. I haven’t always been in the financial position to service my car regularly and do what’s needed at the time, I often feel very anxious about the cost, but whenever I’ve taken my car in, I’ve felt reassured and well looked after. The team are understanding, never push unnecessary work, and seem genuinely trustworthy. I’m not entirely sure how their prices compare, but It’s hard to find that kind of honesty and integrity these days, definitely a business worth supporting!

We have two cars, one newish Mazda and a classic Jeep. They can fix, replace, repair both vehicles to keep us safe while on the roads. Brad Ward and his team have excellent and efficient customer service, their workshop is clean and safe with parking available.

Brad is a fantastic guy to deal with. Have had our car in their multiple times and is always up front and honest and unlike most other workshops he actually cares about the state your car leaves in and is not solely focused on money. Couldn't reccomend these guys enough!

My first visit wasn't pleasant, but on my return and my list of things to do. I got a great response plus an extra which made me rethink on my previous rating. On receiving my vehicle back it was much better condition so well done Brad Ward Motors

Excellent service took the time to go the extra mile to make sure I fully understood just what was involved in the work I was making enquiries about & looked around for the cheapest quotes possible for quality parts to do the job before contacting me with a price AAA+ .Very nice people.

Been using them for years and never had any issues. Very quick to tell you if there's something coming up that needs replacing or cleaning etc even if it's just a heads up so you know there's something that needs doing months from the time. Courtesy cars available and they are also flexible around drop off/pick up times.

Mechanic serving Whenuapai

Your trusted mechanic & WOF near Whenuapai

Whenuapai drivers get honest, local servicing at Brad Ward Motors. WOF, repairs, and full servicing a short run via SH18 - quote, no surprises.

About 13 minutes from Whenuapai via SH18 and Brigham Creek Road into Henderson.

Whenuapai sits on the upper Waitematā out by the airbase, north of Hobsonville and west of Greenhithe, and it is about thirteen minutes to our Moselle Ave workshop via SH18 and Brigham Creek Road. For Whenuapai, that makes us an easy and genuinely local option rather than a drive across the city. Whenuapai has long been the airbase community, and around it sits a settled mix of older village streets and a fast-growing patch of new housing pushing out toward Westgate.

The cars reflect that mix - plenty of family vehicles and SUVs alongside newer cars from the recent subdivisions. A lot of Whenuapai households are families, and the driving is the familiar pattern: the school run, the trip to the Westgate shops, and the daily SH18 and SH16 commute across to the Shore or into the city. That motorway running racks up kilometres and wears tyres quickly, so we check tyres and alignment closely for Whenuapai commuters, because problems you would not notice around the village become real at open-road speed.

The short local hops are the other half of Whenuapai life, and those trips mean engines that rarely warm up fully, moisture building in the oil, and batteries that do not get a proper charge - so we keep an eye on oil and battery condition for Whenuapai regulars too. For the newer cars from the subdivisions, many still under manufacturer warranty, it is worth knowing you do not have to use a dealership: under New Zealand consumer law we can service to the manufacturer's schedule, stamp your book, and keep your warranty fully valid, usually for less than the dealer. We are an MTA approved workshop and an NZTA-authorised WOF provider, so your warrant is done right.

Every job starts with a quote and we call before any extra work - no surprises. Courtesy cars are available on request, which suits busy Whenuapai families. We service all makes and models, petrol and diesel, and Whenuapai drivers are welcome any time.

Why drivers in Whenuapai choose us

  • Just 13 min from Whenuapai, with same-day service on most jobs
  • MTA approved workshop and NZTA-authorised WOF provider
  • Quotes up front, and we call before any extra work. No surprises
  • All makes and models, petrol and diesel, serving Whenuapai drivers
