Exchange diffs and diff repairs for Rolleston

Rolleston is 25 minutes south west of the workshop on SH1, the fastest growing town in Canterbury and the hub of the Selwyn district, with the Izone industrial park and the dairy and cropping farms of the plains around it. Deliveries from Sydenham are typically same or next working day, and plenty of Rolleston drivers simply bring the vehicle to Byron Street.

Commuters and lifestyle blocks

Common jobs for Rolleston drivers

Rolleston is commuter cars and trade utes in the subdivisions, farm utes on the surrounding plains and heavy trade vehicles out of Izone. Ranger, Colorado, Hilux and D-Max rear diffs are the common swaps, with Commodore rear ends from the daily drivers. Being this close to the workshop, the usual approach is to book the vehicle in and have the team fit the exchange unit in Sydenham.

Any mechanic in Rolleston 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 Rolleston

How long will my vehicle be off the road?

Only as long as the swap itself. The exchange unit arrives before anything comes out of your vehicle, so there is no waiting on a rebuild while the ute sits on stands.

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.

Still not sure? Call 03 381 0320 or send your rego and the team will match the right unit.
