This beginnings of a new relay block install. Custom loom in an old Mercedes fitted with a Lexus V8.
Leading the way with the latest equipment and talented staff.
We have a huge range of tools required for diagnostics, fault finding and tuning. Everything from the latest scans tools from Autologic, Autel and Snap-On to name a few, to Smoke machines and Walnut blasting equipment. The list of equipment is impressive and a requirement in our line of work.
Having to tools is one thing, more importantly we have the people who know how to use them. Its not just reading codes or hooking up a smoke machine, its knowing how to analyse the data and work through a process to achieve the desired outcome.
Autologic at work in this pic, Autologic is regarded within the trade as one of the best tools for the European car market, an impressive tool that has a huge range of functions, code reading, live data, coding, activations and actuations etc. Also in this pic is or ‘KESS’ alientech interface for remapping. Stage one tunes are available by appointment.
Having Air-conditioning issues, or just think it should be running cooler. 2020 we purchased all new gear to deal with R134a refrigerant which 95% of the cars on our roads use. We have a qualified AC tech on site and can tackle all manner of AC work, from re-gassing systems to diagnostics and repairs.
While using air conditioning in your car, it circulates the air and removes moisture from the air, which can help reduce the humidity levels and prevent the growth of bacteria, mould, and mildew. Additionally, the air filter in the air conditioning system can trap dust, dirt, and other particles that can contribute to bad odours. (Pollen or cabin air filters are a replacement service item often overlooked).
Reducing the moisture inside of the car vastly increases the defogging of windows in the winter and lowers the temperature in the car on those hotter days.
Great for all seasons!!
Here’s a great example of a poorly serviced car, pollen filters are often overlooked as part of the general vehicle service. A filter this blocked greatly reduces the air flow at the vents, reducing the efficiency of the AC.
This came in with a lot of noise interference through the stereo system. Lots of rerouting and shielding of the stereo system wiring, massive improvement.
We have a massive database of suppliers, online search engines and stock to get the parts you need fast.
Now carrying a large range of a batteries to cover most makes and models, if we don’t have it most likely we can get it same day. We have the latest equipment for testing your battery, starter and charging system, as well as for registering the battery to the vehicle which is fast becoming a requirement, especially in the European market.
How is this set up, great for the animals. Cooling fan set up for the animals with a back up battery supply. Custom wired to the customers specification. Fantastic set up.
Very cool, newly restored VW in for a little tweak of the suspension, now sitting nice and level after some settling in.
Te Rapa Auto Electrical has been a long-standing brand in Hamilton for as long I can remember. The Global events of 2020 unfortunately saw the workshop have to close the doors and put the business to the market.
My wife Sarah and I (John) have owned an automotive business in Wellington since 2013, Wellington European. More recently we have also grown our Family with Ollie born in 2020 and Max in 2021. For a long time we’ve talked about a move back to the Waikato where I have fond memories of, having lived here previously for a number of years, with the introduction of two boys and the lack of family in Wellington, Te Rapa Auto Electrical seemed like a great foot in the door to come home. 2020 Saw us purchase the business and we re-opened the doors on the 17 th of August. 2020.
We have a small team working here dedicated to providing great personalised service, and we are heavily focused on bring back the brand, and being ‘that place you go to’ to have your car repairs, diagnostics and accessories etc done. We have also been able to bring with us some additional services that we have been doing in Wellington for years, things like providing mechanical breakdown insurance, Remap Tunes, Accessories such and Rhino Rack and more. Not do mention a huge amount of European and British car knowledge now on tap when required.
Our small team has a large range of skills and experience on a massive variety of vehicles
