How far will an Auckland business actually travel?
Most work a patch rather than the region. Plenty of North Shore businesses will not cross the bridge for a two-hour job, and nobody in Pukekohe is driving to Warkworth for one. NovaPay asks businesses near you first, and any travel or call-out fee is stated in the quote rather than found on the invoice.
Can I get someone the same week in Auckland?
Usually, for the smaller jobs. How urgent it is goes out with the request, so a business with nothing free that week can say so instead of leaving you waiting on a callback.
Auto electrician or mechanic?
A mechanic covers the mechanical side and plenty of common electrical work. An auto electrician is who you want for wiring, charging faults and anything intermittent, which is exactly what gets referred on.
Why does my battery keep going flat?
Commonly the alternator, the battery itself, or something drawing current while parked. Those are three different repairs, which is why diagnosis is charged as its own step.
Is diagnosis charged separately?
Usually, and it should be. Ask whether the diagnostic fee comes off the bill if you go ahead, since many shops do that.
Can they wire a towbar?
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs. Modern vehicles often need a bypass module so the car recognises the trailer, so say the make, model and year in your request.
