good reliable reasonable mechanic please
kia ora lovely neighbours
sorry, probably been asked before - but I'm looking for recommendations for a good reliable reasonable mechanic please
prefer Henderson - but open to suggestions
I have a good friend of mine who recently bought a car from a car dealership in south auckland (trying to move back this way - so car is currently here, out west)
he JUST got it and the transmission has issues - Mazda I think - this is waaay outside my area of expertise - I think he has rights (since he bought it from a dealership...?) - (thankfully, usually it's a 'mate' - & he spends more money getting it fixed, than pay for the car itself, or what it's worth)
anyway - last I heard it was trying to get it fixed from some place - pay them up front ($400, $500)- then try to get money back from the dealership (?) - and/or - trade the FIXED car (paid for out of pocket) in for another one - PAYING THEM yet *more money* - (argh - what?)
also *MY* WoF has expired
have - been going to my mother's old mechanic other side of the city (was her car before she moved into a retirement community in Nelson) - but needed a new battery a few months ago and people were going - you paid HOW much? ($200ish - he said it was new, 3 year warranty - told paid far too much - should have been about $50 ~sigh!~ ) so looking for someone I can TRUST - who won't rip me off, either of us off - reliable, reasonable, trustworthy...
please & thank you!
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

Chrstmas light show
Hi everyone.
I have put my Xmas lights up and am currently doing the final testing.
This is an animated show set to music, so drive by viewing is not the best.
There are speakers out so you will be able to hear the music that goes with the lights.
As last year, I will have my shows running from 1st of December until 31st of Dec inclusive.
As I have neighbours, Please respect them and their properties.
Show times will be,
Sunday to Thursday 9pm to 10pm.
Friday and Saturday 9pm to 10:30pm.
Last but not least the address.
28 Harrington Rd
Henderson.
