Mechanical & Electrical Repairs in South Auckland
When something in your car starts playing up, you don’t always need a full engine overhaul. You just need someone who can figure out what’s going wrong and get it sorted. At Drury Tires, we handle minor mechanical and electrical repairs to keep your vehicle running smoothly, without the stress or big bills.
If your car’s suddenly making odd noises, dashboard lights are flashing for no reason, or performance has dropped off, we’ll take a look and let you know what’s going on. We deal with most common issues in-house. If it turns out to be something major or outside our lane, we’ll point you in the right direction.Â
Mechanical Repairs We Service
At Drury Tires, we handle a wide range of everyday mechanical issues that can affect your car’s performance, safety, and reliability. While we don’t rebuild engines from the ground up, we cover the sorts of problems most drivers run into; the ones that slow you down, wear things out, or just make your car a bit of a pain to drive. If you're hearing new noises, feeling odd vibrations, or just know something's not right, chances are it's one of the systems below. Here's what we regularly work on:
Suspension and Steering Issues
If your car feels rough over bumps or starts drifting to one side, your suspension or steering setup might be due for attention. Worn shocks, loose ball joints, tired bushings, or a misaligned steering rack can all affect handling and ride comfort. Our team can inspect, diagnose, and replace faulty components, making your drive smoother and safer.Â
Clutch Problems and Light Transmission Repairs
The clutch takes a beating over time, especially in stop-start traffic or if you're carrying loads. Slipping, sticking, or strange noises when shifting can all point to wear and tear in the clutch system. We carry out inspections and minor clutch repairs, including cable and hydraulic adjustments, and can advise if more specialised work is required.Â
Cooling System Repairs
Overheating can ruin an engine faster than almost anything else. If your temperature gauge keeps climbing or there’s coolant leaking onto the driveway, it’s time to act. We handle hose checks, thermostat swaps and fan repairs to keep your cooling system working properly. Most of the time, it’s a simple fix that stops a much bigger issue from developing. Our cooling system service includes pressure tests and checks for leaks, blockages and worn parts.
Minor Engine Faults
Not every engine issue means disaster. Misfires, poor fuel economy, loss of power or rattling sounds can often be caused by faulty plugs, sensors, filters, or other small components. We carry out diagnostics and repairs for minor engine problems, helping you avoid more serious trouble down the track.
Brakes and Basic Driveline Components
Your brakes are something you want working well all the time. We handle inspections and replacement of brake pads, discs, and fluid checks to keep your stopping power sharp. If you’re noticing squealing, vibrations or longer stopping distances, bring it in, worn brakes are one of the most common and easily fixable safety issues. We also check basic driveline components like CV joints and wheel bearings, which can wear down quietly until they cause real problems. These parts might be small, but they have a big impact on how your car handles and behaves.
Exhaust System Checks
A noisy exhaust can be more than just annoying. Leaks can affect performance, fuel economy and emissions, not to mention your car’s ability to pass a WOF. We inspect for visible damage, corrosion or loose fittings, and replace sections if needed. It’s not a flashy job, but it’s one that keeps your car legal and efficient. Whether it's a simple gasket replacement or a loose mount, we can usually sort it without a fuss.
