Exchange diffs and diff repairs for Invercargill
Invercargill is the southernmost city in the country, at the bottom of SH1 and SH6 with Bluff and the Stewart Island ferry just down the road, and the Southland plains farms in every direction.

Common jobs for Invercargill drivers
Invercargill workshops see the farm utes of the plains, the trade fleet of the city and the 4WDs that head to the Catlins, Fiordland and the Bluff boat ramp. Hilux, Ranger, Colorado and D-Max rear ends are the common swaps, with Land Cruiser and Safari front and rear units from the back country. Southland's wet, gritty gravel is unforgiving on seals and bearings, and water in the oil is a frequent finding in the old units that come back.
Any mechanic in Invercargill 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 Invercargill
Do I have to bring the vehicle to Christchurch?
No. For an exchange diff you never need to leave Invercargill. Repairs to your own unit are done in the Christchurch workshop, so for those the diff travels on the courier, not the vehicle.
Which courier delivers to Invercargill?
Diff heads go on the national overnight courier networks, so the driver who turns up is whichever contractor covers your address. Complete beam axles are too heavy for that and travel with Move Logistics, quoted first.
