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.

Just had my vehicle serviced and warranted. Also restored my very yellow headlights that another place had told me were to far gone. Even fixed a couple of smaller things that needed doing to save them getting worse over time. Fantastic job all round. Good price as well. Thank you.

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.

If your car is slow to start on a cold Henderson morning, get the battery and charging system tested before it leaves you stranded. A flat battery always seems to strike at the worst time, so rather than waiting for the inevitable no-start, let us test it and tell you how much life it has left. At our Moselle Ave workshop we can test, supply and fit the right battery for your vehicle on the spot, and check that your alternator is actually charging it properly, because a flat battery is sometimes a charging fault in disguise.
Modern cars draw power even when parked, and stop-start vehicles need specific battery types that handle constant cycling. We fit the correct battery for your car and how you drive it, for customers right across West Auckland.
What we cover
Battery load test and overall health assessment
Battery state of charge measurement
Correct replacement battery supplied and professionally fitted
Alternator output and voltage regulation test
Charging system diagnosis
Starter motor current draw check
Battery terminals cleaned and tightened
Battery hold-down and mounting checked
Parasitic drain check where a battery keeps going flat
Stop-start and AGM battery requirements identified
Drive belt to the alternator inspected for wear
Radio code and settings noted where needed before disconnection
How it works
Bring the car in or give us a call and we will load-test the battery and check the charging system. If the battery is simply at the end of its life, we fit a correct replacement on the spot and confirm the alternator is charging properly. If the problem turns out to be the charging system or a parasitic drain, we will explain what we have found and quote the repair. We only proceed once you have approved the work, with no surprises.
Quotes, no surprises
Battery testing and replacement come with a no-obligation quote, confirmed before we fit anything. If our testing shows the real issue is the alternator or a drain on the system rather than the battery itself, we will tell you and quote that separately rather than selling you a battery you do not need. You only pay for what you have agreed to.
Why choose Brad Ward Motors
We do not just sell you a battery, we test the whole picture first, because replacing a good battery when the real fault is the alternator just wastes your money. As an MTA approved workshop with 35+ years in West Auckland, we fit named-quality batteries suited to your specific vehicle, including the AGM and stop-start types many newer cars require. We can usually test and fit same day, give honest advice with no upselling, and back the work with our 12-month workmanship warranty.
