I am writing this as a verified customer (Invoice for $1,400 available). My previous interaction with the owner already confirms my status as a genuine client of this business.
I paid $1,400 for a maintenance service, during which my engine oil was overfilled by Eldad by over 1 liter. Immediately after leaving the shop, the vehicle began leaking oil due to this excessive pressure. A maintenance service should ensure vehicle health, not cause new mechanical failures.
While I am sharing my factual, documented experience, I noticed a pattern of numerous 5-star reviews from accounts with only a single review history. I encourage potential customers to look for detailed, verified accounts like this one before making a decision.
He also did lie about the quote. He charged double of what he quoted for us, of course verbal quote. 😇
Really bad experience

Great customer service!!! The boss helped me get the cheapest price for my part that i needed to pass my WOF when other workshops quoted me high prices - not sure if its cause im a young female and some try to rip me off and quote me $500-$600… and the boss only charged me $295. Trust worthy!! I passed my WOF! Definitely will be going back when i need to. 100% reccomend!!!!

I can’t recommend Rotorua Motor Works highly enough! He’s worked on both of my cars and the service has always been absolutely awesome.
He replaced the timing chain and rocker cover on my Mini and completed a full service — the car runs perfectly now. He’s also serviced my Audi and recently did the clutch, and once again the job was spot on.
He’s always looked after my vehicles, and I wouldn’t take them anywhere else. Honest, reliable, and top-quality workmanship every time. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your car, this is the place to go! Highly recommended 👌
Thanks team at Rotorua motor works

I can’t speak highly enough of our mechanic, Eldad. He is incredibly trustworthy, fair, and dependable—qualities that are rare to find all in one person. His communication is always clear, he stays calm and professional under pressure, and it’s obvious he genuinely cares about the safety and wellbeing of his clients.
I’ve taken our cars to him several times now for repairs, WOF checks, and general advice, and every visit has been a positive experience. Most recently, just a few days ago, our car needed a water pump replacement and wasn’t driveable. When I called him, he immediately provided towing details so we could get the car to his workshop. He was upfront about the possibility that it might not be ready the same day, which I appreciated.
Despite how busy he always is—a true reflection of the exceptional service he provides—he still managed to complete the repair and have the car ready for pickup before 5pm. We were incredibly grateful for the fast turnaround.
His pricing is honest, his workmanship is reliable, and his dedication to his clients is clear. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a mechanic they can trust completely. Thank you so much, Eldad, and to your team.

Outstanding service from Eldad and the team. Effective communication, and amazing work
I witnessed Eldad working with another customer before me today, and he put so much time and effort into helping them with a quote at the most cost effective price for them.
Definitely recommend
