Customer reviews

What drivers say

The Hilux auto was slipping between second and third — they diagnosed a burnt band, rebuilt the valve body and had it back in four days. Drives like new and the warranty gives us peace of mind for the farm.
— Rachel M., Havelock North, 2025
Our courier fleet runs 16 Hiace vans. Gearshift handles scheduled fluid services and any rebuild work. Downtime matters to us and they understand that — loan van same day, every time.
— Mark P., Napier Couriers, fleet manager
I was quoted $6,500 elsewhere for a CVT replacement. Gearshift reconditioned mine for $3,400 with a two-year warranty. It has been flawless for 18 months.
