Between the orchard blocks and the edge of Tauranga Harbour, we quote fairly, tow for free, and pay you on the spot no need to bring the vehicle into Katikati.
Tuapiro sits out on the peninsula between Katikati and the open water of Tauranga Harbour, surrounded by kiwifruit orchards and lifestyle blocks. It's a quiet, low-lying stretch of road, and the vehicles we come across here tend to live a genuinely mixed life short runs around the orchard during the season, regular trips towing a boat down to the water, and long stretches parked outdoors in salt-laden coastal air.
That combination is tough on a vehicle. We regularly see corrosion around wheel arches and chassis rails well ahead of schedule, along with worn suspension from orchard tracks and boat ramps. None of that surprises us, and none of it is used as an excuse to lowball an offer it's simply factored into a fair quote from the outset.
Because the peninsula road can be affected by high tide in places, we're happy to work around timing if your property is close to the water. Just mention it when you call and we'll plan the pickup accordingly.
We also don't need the vehicle brought out to the main road if it's parked beside a shed, under a canopy, or at the back of an orchard block, tell us where it sits and we'll bring the right tow gear to reach it.
Vehicles worn from regular trips down to the water, corrosion and all.
Short-trip vehicles that have earned a quiet retirement after seasons of orchard work.
Everyday vehicles that have simply reached the end of their useful life.
Rusted, worn, or simply retired from orchard duty, we still make an offer.
Whether it's beside the shed or down a long orchard driveway, our truck comes to you.
