Being local, friendly and always there to help are key values for Waimea Vehicle Testing Station, which was taken over by Chris and Ali Webley earlier this year. Chris has been in the automotive industry since he was 16, starting work in a Christchurch garage before heading to Australia on his big OE, gaining experience with tractors and other agricultural machinery. After returning to New Zealand, Chris owned and operated marine and auto shops in Christchurch and Picton and has now been living in Nelson for 11 years. When the opportunity arose to purchase Waimea Vehicle Testing Station, a reliable and well known Richmond business, Chris and Ali were more than keen to take it on. They both love the benefits of being a completely independent business, unlike other testing stations,

which provides their customers with a number of choices when it comes to fixing mechanical issues that may have stopped them achieving a warrant of fitness. Chris and the team can either suggest local garages that they know offer quality workmanship, or the vehicle owner can use their preferred mechanic, either way, the most important thing for Chris is that his customers receive a 100 per cent independent and accurate safety check. Whether it’s your car, boat trailer, caravan, motorbike or light truck, Chris and his team are all qualified mechanics that can have your warrant of fitness check done in no time. Their testing station is unique in Nelson in that it’s the only one to feature two lanes, making a real difference for vehicle owners that want fast and efficient service. Plus, with a $39 WOF option, they’re possible one of the cheapest stations in town. All vehicle owners need to do is leave their car with Chris and the team for two hours while they browse the shops or take a break in a café. The same goes for their $75 oil and filter change, after two hours, your car will be ready and waiting for you to get on with your day, they also do filter changes on diesel vehicles for $99 up to a six cylinder diesel at $129. With a fresh new courtesy lounge now sitting proudly in the testing station, Chris says their main aim is to carry on offering excellent service to Waimea Vehicle Testing Station’s loyal customers and work hard to win over
