🚨📞 BREAKING NEWS 📞🚨

After what felt like a full-blown hostage negotiation with our phone system, we’re happy to announce…

🎉 OUR PHONES ARE WORKING AGAIN! 🎉

That’s right! The gremlins have been evicted, the wires have been untangled, and the carrier pigeons have been stood down. 🐦❌

If you’ve been trying to call us and couldn’t get through, give us another go! We promise there’s now a real human at the other end of the line. 😎

While we’ve got your attention…

❄️⛷️ WINTER IS HERE! ⛷️❄️

Before you load up the family, the ski gear, the dog, half the house and head for the slopes, make sure your vehicle is ready for the adventure.

Book in for a Winter Vehicle Inspection and let us check:
✅ Battery health
✅ Tyres and tread
✅ Brakes
✅ Coolant and antifreeze
✅ Lights and wipers
✅ All the bits that like to fail when it’s freezing cold!

Because the only thing that should be sliding this winter is your skis… not your car. 😅

📞 Call us now on 03 348 0042
📍 GiG Automotive – Christchurch

Stay safe, stay warm, and we’ll keep your car happier than a skier finding fresh powder! 🎿🏔️

📞🚗 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚗📞

If you’ve been trying to call GiG Automotive today and it sounds like our phone system has decided to take an unscheduled holiday… you’re not imagining things! 😅

Our phone line is currently playing up and we’re working as fast as we can to get it sorted. Unfortunately, unlike a car, we can’t just plug in a scan tool and tell it to stop being difficult! 🤦‍♂️

So if you call and can’t get through, please don’t throw your phone across the room, yell at the cat, or assume we’ve won Lotto and closed the shop. 😂

Please be patient and try again a little later. We promise we’re still here, spanners in hand, keeping Christchurch’s vehicles on the road.

Thanks for bearing with us while we sort out our rebellious phone line! 📞🔧

😂🚗 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM YOUR CAR 🚗😂

"Hi Human...

That strange noise you've been ignoring? It's not fixing itself.

That tyre that's looking a bit sad? Neither is my self-esteem.

That battery that's older than your favourite pair of jandals? I'm getting nervous..."

Winter is here, and your car would like to politely remind you that cold mornings, long drives, ski trips, and neglected maintenance are not a great combination! ❄️🥶

Before your car decides to throw a tantrum halfway to your destination, book it in for a winter health check at GiG Automotive.

We do:
✅ WOFs
✅ Servicing
✅ Repairs
✅ Brakes
✅ Batteries
✅ Tyres
✅ Strange noises, funny smells, and dashboard lights you've been pretending not to see 👀

Because breakdowns are expensive...
And walking home in winter builds character, but we'd rather you didn't have to test that theory. 😂

📞 BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL – Call 03 348 0042

📍 GiG Automotive
324 Blenheim Road, Middleton, Christchurch

🕗 Monday–Friday: 8am–5pm

🚗⛽ PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM GiG Automotive ⛽🚗

Today we had a customer come in and tell us their car had broken down just up the road.

“The engine is turning over, but it just won’t start!”

After asking what vehicle it was and how long the fuel light had been on, our first reaction was a little chuckle… 😆

Because sometimes the most complicated automotive fault is actually…

✨ An empty fuel tank. ✨

It turns out that for a car to do the technical automotive process known as “vroom vroom,” it generally requires petrol. 😂

While most modern vehicles can travel a little way once the fuel light comes on, it’s never a good idea to treat the fuel gauge like a challenge. Running your tank too low can cause fuel system issues and can leave you stranded at the most inconvenient time possible.

💡 Top tip from the team at GiG Automotive:
Don’t wait for the fuel light to come on. When you get down to about a quarter of a tank, start thinking about filling up.

Your car will thank you.
Your wallet will thank you.
And you’ll avoid becoming today’s “it just stopped” story. 😜

Have you ever run out of fuel? Be honest—we promise not to judge (much)! 👇😂

🚗🔧 Please Bear With Us While We Upgrade Our Systems 🔧🚗

Here at GIG Automotive we are currently implementing new software systems to help make your experience with us smoother, faster, and more convenient in the long run.

During this transition period, we kindly ask for your patience while our team learns and integrates the new systems into our day-to-day operations.

📞 When calling to make a booking, please have the following ready:
• Your vehicle registration number
• Your email address

This allows us to pre-enter your details into the new system and helps speed up the booking process.

🌱 Once everything is fully up and running, your usual WOF check sheets will be emailed directly to you, helping reduce paper usage and making things more environmentally friendly. Printed copies will still be available on request if needed.

Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding while we make these improvements.

Thanks from the Team at
