Why Archibalds
Service Pedigree
It has long been known throughout the South Island that a vehicle with an Archibalds service history is a vehicle with a service pedigree and one you can trust. At Archibalds your vehicle is treated with the respect and care it deserves, meticulously tested and checked to ensure that ‘new car feeling’ continues for the vehicle’s lifetime.


Factory Trained Staff
Our staff, both front of house and service technicians, are factory trained. That means they’re regularly engaged in training activities specific to the brand they represent. As specialists in their particular brand they’ll diagnose and solve problems faster than an ordinary mechanic, saving you time and money, and keeping your vehicle in optimum running condition.

Genuine Parts
At Archibalds we ONLY use genuine parts. Genuine parts are designed and made to the vehicle manufacturer’s exacting standards and all come with a warranty. Authentic parts will give you thousands of kilometers of trouble-free motoring and also help maintain the integrity of your vehicle, keeping it 100% genuine.

Manufacturer Approved Diagnostic Tools
Modern vehicles are now as much digital as they are mechanical. Manufacturer approved diagnostic tools ensure the service technician does not waste time looking for faults, but quickly and efficiently delivers the right solution. Diagnostic tools also allow us to easily update your vehicles software ensuring the heart of your vehicle is as effective as possible.

Nationally Recognised Department
Archibalds' parts and service staff are regularly recognised as being amongst the country's best. In 2014, Archibalds won Jaguar-Land Rover and Volvo parts and service department of the year and were finalists in Audi Customer Satisfaction dealer of the year.
