"As a car owner and enthusiast, I recently visited Clinch Automotive Ltd, an auto shop in Christchurch, New Zealand, that specializes in European cars, particularly Jaguar, Land Rover, BMW, Audi, and VW. My experience with them was nothing short of impressive, and I would recommend their services to anyone who needs quality work done on their European vehicle.

From routine oil services and inspections to engine tuning and overhauls, electrical system diagnosis and repair with the latest diagnostic equipment, cooling system testing and repair, brakes, suspension, and tires, transmission servicing and overhaul, power steering repairs, heater and air conditioning diagnosis, warrant of fitness testing, wheel alignments, engine rebuilds, and even stockists of batteries, they had everything covered. What's more, the team at Clinch Automotive was approved by major warranty companies, which means that they can provide services to those with a warranty, giving car owners peace of mind that their vehicle is in good hands. During my visit, I had the opportunity to speak with Shane, the Master Jaguar Technician extraordinare at Clinch Automotive. He had a wealth of knowledge and experience working with Jaguar vehicles, and it was evident that he knew these cars inside and out. His expertise was reassuring, and it was evident that my car was in good hands. The team at Clinch Automotive also had a range of genuine Jaguar and Land Rover parts available, as well as aftermarket parts, which meant that they could source parts quickly, ensuring that my vehicle was back on the road as soon as possible. In terms of service, I was impressed with how fast and efficient they were. Work was carried out to manufacturers' guidelines and service schedules, ensuring that my car was in top condition. What's more, the team always had a smile on their faces, which made me feel welcome and appreciated. Overall, I would highly recommend Clinch Automotive to anyone who needs work done on their European vehicle.

I was thoroughly impressed with their services, and I will definitely be returning for any future car-related needs."

"The team at Clinch automotive came to my rescue when my 1976 Jaguar broke down on my South Island holiday. Despite running perfect for the first 1000km she decided she needed some expert assistance. The whole team dropped tools and fixed her up perfect. Expert diagnosis and repair. By the nicest people you could meet. I highly recommend the team at Clinch automotive for any mechanical repairs, especially if you drive a classic. Thanks a million."

"A few months ago I had a wheel alignment done at Clinch Automotive and I was extremely impressed with the quality of work and friendliness of the staff. My car feels fantastic now, no longer jumping all over the road. Thanks to the team at Clinch. I look forward to my next wheel alignment with you."
