HEAR The truth from the mouth of the Kirwee locals

The team provide a really good local service

“We’ve been using Kirwee Challenge for around 20 to 30 years. Hamish is an extremely good mechanic. We have a lot of diverse machinery and he'll have a go with anything, and he can always get to the bottom of it.


They’re really capable and very obliging, they’ll always work around you. The team provide a really good local service, we’d be pretty lost without them really.”

— Andrew Brooker | Brooker Farming, Aylesbury

Very efficient service

“We’ve been in the area for about 16 months and we’ve been using Kirwee Challenge since day dot. We’re a great believer in supporting local and they’re just around the corner from us, so really handy. The team do my WOF’s and service my lawn mowers and anything that needs to be done. I’ve found the quickest way to get to know the locals is to use them! They get my WOF’s done really quickly, very efficient service.”

— Alex McMaster, Kirwee

Always offering advice, very helpful and honest

“We’ve been using Kirwee Challenge for 30 or 40 odd years. We’ve been very happy with the service we receive, they’re someone we know, someone we trust. Their service is very good, always offering advice, very helpful and honest. There’s usually a loan car available if I have to leave my vehicles there for service which works in really well for us as we live 10mins from Kirwee. They’re just really honest and reliable and I would recommend them.”

— Gary Masterton, Halkett

If you want something done right, go there

“We’ve been using Kirwee Challenge for around 7 or 8 years. I had been using them personally for a number of years prior, before we started sending all our work stuff there. We have a large workload and they’re able to push things through really quickly and efficiently. We have service providers all over the country, but Kirwee Challenge are one of our main service providers for light vehicles. We even bring vehicles out from Christchurch to be repaired because of their prompt turnaround. If we send something down for a warrant or service we know it gets inspected safely and properly. They’re easy to deal with and are able to slot us in wherever they can. Basically if you want something done right, go there.”

— Grant Sutherland, HEB Construction, Darfield

Back on the road safely & as quickly as possible

“We’ve been using Kirwee Challenge for around 40 to 50 years now. We like to support local, they always do what they say they’ll do.


They have a handy shop and great mechanics. If we have a problem with a vehicle they always go out of their way to get it back to roadworthy condition as safely and quickly as possible, they get the parts they need within one or two days, so really efficient service. I appreciate the trusted relationship that we’ve built up over the years. Don’t be afraid to call them for advice and see if they can help you out.”

— John Colee, Courtenay

They’re really thorough and efficient

“We’ve been using Kirwee Challenge for around 7 years now as they were close to our farm. Full vehicle services, farm trucks, trailers, just a bit of everything. We were recommended through local word of mouth and we wanted to support local. We tried them out with one farm vehicle, now send everything there. They get onto our servicing straight away and inform us of the cost of repairs if any before they go ahead. The team provide good communication, they have competitive pricing. It’s a small team but they’re really thorough and efficient. They also have great coffee!”

—  Johnny Hamilton, Kirwee

A good old country garage with personal service

“We’ve been using Kirwee Challenge for about 14 years now. Nothing was an issue the first time, they were prompt and ordered parts really quickly, it was easy and so we continued to use them. Their quick turnaround was just really impressive and made us come back. The company works on anything of ours that’s mechanical, eg. farm equipment, utes and cars. I love the personal service I get from them, they know me after so many years. Kirwee Challenge is just a good old country garage with a small team and personal service. ”

— Timmy McNae, Farmer, Darfield

Reliable and get things done when they say they will

“We’ve been using Kirwee Challenge for around 15 years. Good reliable people, straight up, which makes life easy.


They service mainly just our vehicles but we use them for smaller engines and motorbikes as well. They’re really honest, so much so that they’ll advise on a cheaper alternative if they need to, I never feel like they’re gauging me out on price which is great. If you find someone that you can really rely on to get things done the way they say they will, well when you’re running a business that’s really important. You stick with what you know when it’s serving you well, and that’s how I feel about the team at Kirwee Challenge.”

— Sean Molloy, Sheffield

I have trust and faith in their mechanical ability

“We’ve been using Kirwee Challenge for nearly 20 years now. The team is very professional and the work they do is great. Whenever you want something done, it’s done very competently, very obliging. Their work schedule might be full but if you need something done desperately they’ll be sure to fit you in. They’re so friendly and competent, I certainly have trust and faith in their mechanical ability. ”

— Warren Dobbs, Kirwee

Good service, fast and efficient

“We’ve been using Kirwee Challenge for around 15 years after moving towns. Local garage that was recommended to us from other locals. Good people, good family to work with. We get our vehicle servicing and maintenance done there, and use the shop from time to time. They’re in just a really handy location for us. They give good service, fast and efficient and really good to deal with.”

— Daryl Martin, Kirwee
