Exchange diffs and diff repairs for North Shore
The North Shore sits across the Harbour Bridge from the Auckland CBD, running up the coast from Devonport and Takapuna to Albany and the Hibiscus Coast. It is urban and suburban throughout, with every address on a standard courier run, so transit from Christchurch is typically two to three working days.

Common jobs for North Shore drivers
Boats are the story on the Shore. Launching ramps along the east coast bays mean a lot of Ranger, Hilux and Colorado utes and the occasional Land Cruiser spend their weekends backing trailers into salt water. That is hard on pinion seals and, over time, on the bearings behind them. Alongside the tow vehicles we would expect the usual run of Commodore and Falcon rear ends.
Any mechanic in North Shore can fit an exchange diff head. The unit arrives with fitting notes, the ratio tagged on the housing and the oil specification, and the team in Christchurch is on the phone to your workshop if anything about the model needs checking. For a repair to your own unit rather than an exchange, the diff travels to Christchurch on the courier and back, freight free, while the vehicle stays with your local workshop.
Ordering from North Shore
Can you quote before I order?
Yes. Send the rego and a line about the noise or fault through the enquiry form and the team confirms the right unit and the price, core charge included, before you commit to anything.
Can I go to an LSD at the same time?
Often, yes. Many exchange units are stocked in both open and LSD form, so the swap can be an upgrade as well as a repair. Tell the team what the vehicle does for a living and they will say whether it is worth it.
