Customer Testimonials

Hello John, Mike, Leela, and Team, This is just a short message to say how much of a pleasure it has been dealing with you. The car looks stunning and I am very happy with the result. I must thank you for being so accomodating to my request for some remedial work on a couple of small defects and the realignment of the boot lid. At no time was I made to feel a nuisance although I'm sure it was work you would rather have not had to do. Your customer service is "tops" and I am happy to recommend your company without reservation. I wish you all the best for future trading which hopefully will soon be back to normal for you post the lockdown.

John and the whole team at The Surgery worked on our 1967 Classic Kombi T2. They totally rebuilt and replaced motor, gearbox, brakes, wheel bearings, kingpins and steering box. The engine bay was completely repainted and restored to original condition and colour. Every bolt painted, every rust spot treated and removed. We picked it up after the 4 month restoration on Friday night. It was cleaned & immaculately presented. The next day we drove it to the Wgtn VW club day. It won the Wellington VW Enthusiats "Peoples Choices" at the Christmas Club Day. I rated their job as a 5 Star Service. The VW Club rated it the best on the day. A personal thanks to Maurice for his dedication to the mechanical work. Need I say more, they deliver what they say! We are so fortunate having their expertise in Wellington. - Steve Fejos

The team at The Surgery have done restoration work on my E type and more recently my Range Rover CSK. All done to a great standard with excellent communication throughout the process. The CSK work was outstanding, so much so that it rather showed up the quality of the original factory finish! This was all brought up to standard as well and now the whole car is looking marvelous. I wouldn’t take my classics anywhere else for body and paint work.

The team at The Surgery restored our 1958 Morgan +4 over a period of 8 years. Throughout the restoration, they were very flexible in fitting in with our requirements and very adaptable time-wise by staging work to fit into our budget. They were very helpful with suggestions and advice regarding options along the way. We were extremely pleased with the end result and the car has continued to attract complimentary remarks wherever we have been. We can thoroughly recommend the team at The Surgery to any classic vehicle owners

We two have been going to Intermarque days for some time (15 years, I guess) and all the time they just keep getting better and better. We know a lot of people are involved, the Intermarque Committee, the team at The Surgery, of course, scrutineers, timekeepers, marshals... A big thank you to all involved. 

I found the team at The Surgery very approachable and dedicated to their craft. They can be as proud of the Monaro as I am and I will be willing to recommend them as top of the line restorers

I would like to express my gratitude for all of your work done in restoring the car to my satisfaction and particularly for the opportunity to have the input that I desired as work progressed. I really appreciate your advice in accessing parts and service. Member of The Constructors Car Club and The Daimler & Lanchester Owners’ N.Z.

I would like to offer my congratulation on a job well done. We in the airline industry are very particular about maintenance standards, so it was a pleasure to see restoration work of the highest quality. I have had many staff members comment on the work you did. They were all impressed.
