At Paul Kelly Auto Services, our General Vehicle Servicing covers a comprehensive range of maintenance services for your vehicle including an oil change. Christchurch customers can rest assured knowing your car is running efficiently and safely when you have your car regularly serviced with us.
Logbook Servicing
Our fully qualified mechanics will ensure that your scheduled Logbook Services are undertaken according to the manufacturer’s specifications to keep your car running in optimal condition, at a fraction of the dealer’s price. During a Logbook Service, we systematically check and/or replace fluids or components as per the manufacturer’s recommendation including an oil change. Christchurch customers can complete your Logbook Service with us which helps to maintain the warranty and extend the life of your car. We provide Logbook Servicing on all vehicles at affordable prices.
We recommend servicing your car every year or every 10,000 kms, whichever comes first.
Paul Kelly Service Centre is an Autosure approved provider which means we can keep your extended mechanical warranty valid and carry out any repairs while dealing with Autosure on your behalf.

Warrant of Fitness (WoF)
A Warrant of Fitness (WoF) is a regular check to ensure your vehicle meets required safety standards. Vehicles first registered anywhere in the world on or after 1 January 2000 will need annual WoF inspections for their lifetime. For new vehicles, after an initial inspection, another WoF inspection won’t be required until the 3rd anniversary of their first registration.
We carry out independent WoFs in accordance with LTNZ requirements, ensuring your vehicle is legally compliant and safe for driving on the road.
The WoF inspection is a general safety check of the following aspects of your vehicle, but not limited to:
Tyre condition (including tread depth)
Brake operation
Structural condition (rust is not allowed in certain areas)
Lights
Glazing (ensuring your windscreen is safe)
Windscreen washers and wipers
Doors (ensuring they open and close safely)
Safety belts (must not be damaged or overly faded; buckles must work properly)
Airbags (if fitted)
