Units Porirua drivers ask for

All exchange diffs

Boat towing and coastal roads

Common jobs for Porirua drivers

Boats in and out of Mana are the local pattern. Ranger, Hilux and Colorado utes that back into salt water most weekends, and the pinion seals and bearings that suffer for it. Trade vehicles from the industrial areas and the usual Commodore and Falcon rear ends make up the rest. A ute that has developed a whine after a season of launching and retrieving is a common call.

Any mechanic in Porirua 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 Porirua

Which courier delivers to Porirua?

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.

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.
