About A Automotive Services
Mechanical servicing specialists
After more than 20 years of providing our clients with top-quality service, A Automotive Services is well established as one of New Zealand’s leading automatic transmission and gearbox specialists.
We have highly trained technicians and the most advanced diagnostic equipment specifically focused on drivetrain maintenance and upgrades. We service, repair, recondition and rebuild auto transmissions, manual gearboxes, torque converters, differentials and transfer cases.
We also provide a wide range of other under-car services, including servicing and maintenance of wheel bearings, axles, suspension and CV joints.
Our workshop is located on Auckland’s North Shore, just minutes off the motorway. Most of our customers come from the city and surrounds. However, our reputation has spread so wide that vehicle enthusiasts from far afield also come to us for top-quality service. We even offer a pick-up, repair service where you can have parts freighted to us for repairs!

Qualified Staff
Highly motivated and trained technicians
The team at A Automotive Services is headed by Karl Browne. He has been in the automotive repair industry since 1983, developing a particular interest in the complexities of automatic transmissions early on.
Over time, Karl earned recognition as one of the true experts in his field in New Zealand, with thorough knowledge of automatic transmission, gearbox, torque converter and differential reconditioning, and the myriad issues that can impact on motor vehicle transmission performance.
When Karl took the helm at A Automotive Services in 1992, he was determined to build it into the best automatic transmission rebuild and repair service in the country.
He has largely achieved this dream. A Automotive Services now count among the most trusted automotive specialists in the country. We are a top-rated supplier to insurance companies as well as other workshops nationwide. The challenge now is to keep lifting our standards.
Success built on a great support team
To deliver to his expectation and that of customers, Karl knew he had to bring together a team of people who could share his passion and match or surpass his own skill.
Through careful recruiting and ongoing staff training, A Automotive Services can now offer our customers the combined experience and expertise of a whole team of highly motivated and trained technicians. People who know just how important your vehicle is to you and will treat it at least as well as they treat their own.
It doesn’t matter if your vehicle is Japanese or American, Korean or European, a powerful SUV or eco-friendly hybrid… A Automotive Services has specialists who can give you the best possible service.
Ongoing training means we’re up with the latest developments
As Karl Browne can attest after a lifetime in the industry, there is always something new to learn. Technology keeps developing, sometimes in astonishing ways.
Modern transmission systems are constantly evolving. That is why just having certified mechanics isn’t good enough for A Automotive. Our staff have to keep on learning and training to ensure they’re fully qualified to deal with the ever-increasing complexity in the field.
So when you bring your vehicle to A Automotive, you can rest assured that it’s in the care of people really know what they’re doing. People who care to do it right – and to do right by you.
Feel free to contact us to discuss any concerns you may have with your vehicle.
