Why Booking Car Services Still Feels Stuck in 2004 (And How Motorfy Is Fixing It for NZ Drivers)

🚗 Still Calling Around for Car Repairs/Services? You’re Not Alone.

In 2025, you can get groceries, a haircut, or even a dog walker with a tap on your phone. But when it comes to booking car servicing in New Zealand?

It still feels like you’ve time-travelled back to 2004.

  • No clear pricing.
  • Long wait times.
  • Phone tag.
  • Dodgy hand-written quotes.

And workshops that may reply… if they feel like it.


🧾 Billions Are Spent on Car Servicing in NZ, But It’s a Mess

New Zealanders spend $6.9 billion a year on car care, from WOF checks and tyre replacements to brake repairs and oil changes.

But the industry hasn’t kept up…

  • 📞 Most quotes still happen over the phone

  • ✍️ Jobs get scribbled on Post-It notes

  • 🤷‍♂️ Drivers don’t know who to trust

  • ❌ No easy way to compare prices or availability

Even the best mechanics get buried under the noise. And drivers? Often stuck overpaying, or delaying service altogether.
