Exchange diffs and diff repairs for Greymouth
Greymouth is the West Coast's largest town, at the mouth of the Grey River where SH6 meets SH7 from the Lewis Pass, about three hours from Christchurch over Arthur's Pass. Mining, fishing and the Grey Valley farms all run through it. Town addresses are standard courier; the valley and coast roads are often rural delivery.

Common jobs for Greymouth drivers
Mining and contracting 4WDs, Grey Valley farm utes and fishing boat towers all pass through Greymouth workshops, and they bring Land Cruiser, Hilux and Safari front and rear diffs that have been through water and gravel in equal measure. Ranger, Colorado and D-Max utes from the trades make up the rest. The Greymouth workshops listed on the West Coast page can inspect and fit for us, so the vehicle never has to cross the Alps.
Any mechanic in Greymouth 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 Greymouth
Can my local mechanic in Greymouth 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.
Do I have to bring the vehicle to Christchurch?
No. For an exchange diff you never need to leave Greymouth. Repairs to your own unit are done in the Christchurch workshop, so for those the diff travels on the courier, not the vehicle.
