Car Servicing in Palmerston North

Palmerston North sits at the heart of the Manawatū plains - one of New Zealand's most productive farming regions. This means local mechanics are highly experienced with agricultural vehicles, from farm utes to tractors and trailers. The large Massey University student population keeps prices competitive, with many mechanics offering student specials. The flat terrain is very gentle on vehicles, though rural road driving can increase dust and dirt accumulation. The city's central North Island location means good parts availability and competitive pricing.
