Sutherland Automotive
About
Sutherland Automotive operates Gas n Gear, an LPG delivery service based in Mangapapa that extends across Gisborne to the Mahia Peninsula. Founded and run by the Sutherland family, the business prioritises accessibility and reliability for communities beyond the city centre. The service focuses on straightforward 45kg bottle swaps delivered on predictable schedules rather than indefinite wait times. Pricing transparency underpins their approach, with costs determined by geographic zones rather than postcodes, ensuring customers understand charges upfront. The team maintains four delivery zones covering town, outer urban, rural, and Mahia regions. Emphasising personal service, the Sutherlands handle customer inquiries directly during business hours, avoiding external call centres. Their local knowledge of regional roads and conditions shapes efficient delivery planning. The business accommodates both occasional customers and regular accounts, allowing households and commercial operations to manage refill timing independently. Beyond LPG distribution, Sutherland Automotive provides general automotive servicing. This dual operation reflects the family's commitment to supporting practical infrastructure needs across rural and semi-rural Gisborne. Direct contact occurs via phone (06-867-7843, Monday to Friday 9am–5pm) or email, emphasising the hands-on approach central to their community-focused model.
