My team and I were really impressed by Autoproject NZ’s range of services. They’ve got packages that cover everything from high-end luxury cars to your everyday commuter. 

When we checked out their shop, we saw them applying a ceramic coating on a BMW X1. It was cool to see how much detail they put into their work, especially on more specialty vehicles like that. 

What really stood out was how knowledgeable their team was. You can tell they stay up to date with the latest trends, which gives us confidence in their expertise. 

During our consultation, they took the time to figure out exactly what our car needed—no one-size-fits-all approach here.

Their former customers we spoke to also loved their mobile service. They came right to their house or office, which is super convenient. 

Their prices are a bit on the higher side. However, after seeing the level of care and attention they put into each car, we’d say you’re getting your money’s worth.

Pros

  • Wide range of packages
  • Attention to detail
  • Highly trained team
  • Personalized consultations
  • Mobile service

Cons

  • Higher pricing

You can see the passion & how meticulously the job has been done

“I had my X5 detailed by Ryan & the outcome is nothing short of amazing! It’s a 2016 model with lots of swirls, oxidation & over-buffing from unknown groomers. After a few days of Ryan doing his impressive magic, my car looked brand new when it pulled up on my driveway. Couldn’t be much happier. Service is top-notch. You can see the passion & how meticulously the job has been done. It’s worth every penny, plus, you will have heaps of advice on how to maintain & keep your pride & joy looking sleek & awesome. Thanks, Ryan!”

We loved how Fine Shine Car Wash go all-in on the hand-washing. It felt like they were extra careful to make sure our car got a thorough clean without risking any damage to the paint.

Their attention to detail didn’t stop with the exterior. Inside, they vacuumed everything—seats, carpets, mats—and refreshed the interior with shampoo and leather treatments. 

A lot of their customers also rave about some of the extra services they offer. Their headlight restoration is perfect if your lights are starting to look a little foggy, while their bug and tar removal is great for cars with stubborn grimes.

They also offer to come to your home or work with their mobile service. Pricing is pretty clear-cut too, but a little expensive. 

Pros

  • Thorough handwashing
  • Attention to detail
  • Extra services
  • Mobile service

Cons

  • Higher pricing

Will definitely be using them again in the future.

“Jaggi did an amazing job on my vehicle! I messaged him on Sunday and he was here working on my truck on Monday. I have an almost 30-year-old vehicle and he got basically every scratch out with the cut and polish. The final product is more than I expected! Exceptional work, done quickly at my house, he was very professional. Would highly recommend it! And will definitely be using again in the future.”

From the professionalism of the staff to the overall experience, it’s clear that you’re paying for top-notch service.

Although GD Hamilton Auto Groomers offers a wide range of services, they really shine when it comes to detailed grooming and restoration. 

One customer told us about how they completely eliminated all the mold inside her car—a huge win for freshness! If you want your ride to look and feel new, they’re definitely the spot to visit.

We also love that they offer air freshener options for that final touch. And if you’ve got a sensitive nose, no worries—they’re happy to skip it.

From paint protection and restoration to polishing, they’ve got a service for whatever your car needs. It’s like a full-on spa day for your ride, all in one spot. 

Plus, their pricing is super friendly, which is always a bonus.

That said, one customer we chatted with mentioned her service took a lot longer than expected—she was promised an hour, but it ended up being five. They seemed short-staffed that day, with only two guys on hand. 

Pros

  • Detailed grooming and restoration
  • Wide range of services
  • Customizable options
  • Affordable pricing

Cons

  • A few reports of turnaround delays

Very impressed with the service here

“Very impressed with the service here from Girish. He was very good with letting me know what would be achievable and did a great job working on some very old stains. Also very friendly and great to communicate with – even offered me a courtesy lift around town even though he seemed very busy. Highly recommend”

It was evident that great care and quality products were applied for a fantastic finish. I will not hesitate to use this service again as well as recommend it highly to others. THANKS!”

I would highly recommend the products used and his professionalism

“Another awesome detail from Matt and his crew. Absolutely amazing and so happy with the results! The paint is so smooth with one of the top-of-the-range Ceramic Coating products and great warranty that goes with it. Cleaning the car was always fun but now it’s a breeze and Matt even advised me how best to do it and was always on hand if I needed any questions answering. When collecting the vehicle he even demonstrated the product in front of me before finishing drying it all again. I would highly recommend the products used and his professionalism. He has done a few of my vehicles already and painted calipers and sorted out wheels as well as fitting the amazing hexagonal lighting system into one of our dealerships! I’ve just booked the wife’s car for the same luxury treatment. Thanks again, 5* excellent service!!”

I’d highly recommend Mat to anyone looking to bring their car back to life. Fantastic work!”

Booking an appointment with Final Touch took a little effort, but it was totally worth it. Once we got in, we were really impressed by their unique take on auto detailing. 

They’ve got this awesome SmartChip technology for paint repair that works wonders on stone chips and minor paint damage. Plus, it doesn’t break the bank as traditional methods do.

They also offer customized detailing packages tailored to your car’s needs, using high-quality products like 3M Paint Protection Film and advanced ceramic coatings.

And let me tell you, their professionalism is top-notch. The team really knows their stuff—they’re trained in luxury auto detailing, so you can trust them with even the fanciest cars. We saw that firsthand during our visit when they patiently answered all our questions.

With all this premium service and expertise, we loved how their pricing was surprisingly competitive.

  • High-quality products
  • Professional expertise
  • Competitive pricing

Cons

  • Minor difficulty in appointment booking

The finish was incredible

“I used Final Touch for both paint and plastic restoration and Duraseal on my red Rx8 years ago and it still looks brand new. Recently I got my Atenza headlights restored and the finish was incredible. I highly recommend Final Touch to anyone who takes pride in their vehicle’s preservation and presentation.”

Michelle Marie, Google review

Excellent work from the team

“Final touch came to the rescue after a local panel shop ruined the paintwork on my Audi A8, excellent work from the team got my black paint back to its scratch-free shine (and beyond). Before and after photos speak volumes.”
