Rikstay Auto
Exhaust, battery & lube A car is in many cases a big investment so it’s understandable that owners want to keep their cars for as long as possible. One key to keeping your car longer is to find a reliable auto technician to maintain it. This is where Rikstay Auto comes in. Owned by Renwick couple Melanie and Mark Partington, this family business has been in Marlborough for over 25 years. It’s the ‘good old-fashioned, trusted service’ that has kept Rikstay Auto in business all these years, he says. “We go the extra mile to provide motorists everything they need.” Mark operates his Grove Road business six days a week, providing everything from
new tyres and brake work, to exhaust fitting and repairs. He also services trailers and has even worked on motorised scooters, jockey wheels, wheelbarrows and ride-on-mowers. “I always tell people, don’t be afraid to drop in with your vehicle. It’s easier for me to look and find out exactly what you need. “That way I can give you accurate information and advice,” he says. In addition to tyres Rikstay Auto also stocks Valvoline Oil and Endurant Batteries. “Feel free to drop in to the shop today to find out what we can do for you. “We are happy to offer free quotes and pensioner discounts.”

Winter car servicing As winter approaches it’s not only our homes we must prepare, but also our motor vehicles. Mark Partington of Rikstay Auto says ‘if your car is due a service or tyres need replacing, get it done before winter’. “The cold weather does cause issues with cars but many of them can be prevented by having a pre-winter check. “Cars can become harder to start on cold winter mornings so we are fully stocked with new batteries. “Tyre tread if worn down can be dangerous on wet and icy roads so the best advice I can give is to bring your vehicle in and have them replaced,” he says. Rikstay Auto has a range of tyres to suit different budgets, including new and second hand. “We offer tyres and services to suit all types of vehicles, including cars, utes, light trucks and four-wheel-drives, and we keep our prices competitive to give our customers the best deals we can. “We even have second hand rims available, so if you want to replace your space-saver with a wheel, call in and see me,” he says.
We do: mufflers, brakes, shocks, towbars, clutches & vehicle servicing 2 Year Guarantee on Parts & Labour All Makes and Models Competitive Pricing
