Common jobs for Lower Hutt drivers
Trade and fleet vehicles dominate the Hutt. Hiace and Hilux units with high mileage, Ranger and Colorado utes carrying tools and towing trailers, and the Falcon and Commodore utes still in the trades. For a business a ute off the road is a cost every day, so the exchange model, where the unit arrives before the old one comes out, fits the way these workshops like to operate.
Any mechanic in Lower Hutt 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 Lower Hutt
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 my local mechanic in Lower Hutt fit it?
Yes. Any workshop can fit an exchange head. Fitting notes come with the unit and the team will talk to your mechanic directly if anything about the model is unusual.
