I do not often leave google reviews but wanted to go out of my way to acknowledge great service from GVI. I have two cars that I purchased from GVI some years ago. I’ve always serviced the cars at GVI. Their level of service throughout has been awesome. Thank you GVI.
The GVI team have been servicing my Nissan for over 10 years and they're a total pleasure to deal with. They keep me informed the whole time so there's never a nasty surprise with the bill. Brilliant service, great advice, plus a courtesy car! Highly recommend.
Second time I’ve had my car here for a full service and WOF. I must say I think they have become more efficient - Well done team. I waited on site in their lounge area. I was there for just over an hour. Friendly team of staff who are transparent with the cost of any additional repairs. They have also advised me what to expect at my service next year.
Got a realistic quote quickly and no problem getting booked in for work. No problem getting a courtesy car. The price was same as quote. Great.
Excellent service - the team really makes sure any issues are properly investigated and fixed. Great communication with Luan and the rest of the team. Keep it up guys!
Refreshingly friendly and human (for a service dept). Nothing was a problem and the work carried out without delay or problem. Would i go back? In a heartbeat.
Smooth and effortless experience. Very polite staff. Full marks for their customer service. Excellent workmanship, fixed my car's lock perfectly. Great policy of providing a free convenience vehicle too!
Each time I have dealt with the team at GVI Service Centre - they have been friendly and helpful, often going beyond what is required to ensure I got what I needed. Thank you for your exceptional service.
The staff are always professional, friendly, and responsive. I am impressed with how well they listen, follow up, and follow through.
Great service with timely follow up - the service team were professional and very responsive and it was good value.
Great communication, comfortable place to wait, no hassles at all.
Awesome service, car running smoothly, content and feel safe. Staff there are awesome ,welcoming plus overall service and experience
Holiday servicing questions
When should I book my car in before Christmas?
As early as you can. Holiday bookings fill fast, and the December rush leaves fewer free times in the weeks before Christmas. Book online, call 09 579 6083 or text 021 184 7876 and we will find a time that suits.
What should I get checked before a summer road trip?
The six things that most often strand families: air conditioning, tyres, brakes, engine servicing, any warning lights, and suspension. A loaded car, a long drive and hot weather show up anything that has been put off.
Can I get a WOF at the same time?
Yes. We do WOF and COF inspections at the workshop, so you can have the car inspected and serviced in one visit. Mention it when you book. See our WOF and COF page.
Can I get a courtesy car or free pickup?
Yes. Free courtesy cars are available with your booking, subject to availability, and we offer free local pickup and drop-off. Ask for either when you book rather than on the day and we will confirm the details.
Will I know the cost before you start?
Yes. We inspect the car and quote first, and nothing is done until you approve it. If the quote is bigger than you planned, no-deposit repair finance is available through Smartcover Finance, subject to its approval and terms. See repair finance.
Do you fit tow bars and roof racks?
Yes. Tow bars and roof racks are supplied and fitted, so you can tow the boat, trailer or caravan, or carry boards and bikes. Ask for a quote when you book.
