European vehicle specialists, also servicing and repairing all other makes and models
Serving Pukekohe and the wider Franklin area
Keep your campervan or commercial vehicle road ready
A campervan breakdown can bring a long-planned trip to a stop. For a tradesperson or fleet operator, a van sitting in a workshop can mean lost income.
That is why our approach to these vehicles puts reliability first.
European Car Specialists services and repairs campervans, work vans and light commercial vehicles, with particular experience across European makes such as Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot and Renault.
From mechanical and diesel faults to auto electrical work in Pukekohe, the aim is to identify what needs attention, prioritise the important work and get the vehicle back on the road without unnecessary delays.
Jan is also a Mercedes campervan owner himself, so he understands the value of sorting potential problems before you are hundreds of kilometres from home.
Contact us about your campervan or commercial vehicle and let us know its make, model, size and how you use

Campervan and commercial vehicle servicing for customers across Pukekohe, Franklin and South Auckland
Pre-trip inspections before you head away
If you are planning a long journey, we recommend having your campervan checked well before departure.
A pre-trip inspection looks beyond whether the vehicle simply starts and drives today. We consider its service history, age, mileage and the additional demands of long-distance touring.
Depending on the vehicle, this may include checking brakes, steering, suspension, driveline components, tyres, fluids and servicing requirements, along with diagnostic scanning for stored or developing faults.
For older or higher-mileage vehicles, preventative maintenance may also make sense where a component is approaching the end of its expected life. The aim is to address foreseeable problems at the workshop rather than when you are halfway through a trip.
We will explain what needs attention now, what can be monitored and what should be considered before travelling.
If a WOF is also due, our services and WOF arrangements allow us to coordinate the independent inspection during your booking.
Commercial vehicle servicing designed to reduce downtime
A commercial vehicle earns its keep on the road, so turnaround matters.
We service work vans and light commercial vehicles with that in mind, planning maintenance and repairs to minimise unnecessary time off the road wherever parts availability and the work required allow. Fleet servicing can also be staggered so you are not taking several vehicles out of operation at once.
Our work includes scheduled servicing, brake repairs, transmission servicing and mechanical fault finding, along with auto electrical diagnosis where warning lights, sensors or electronic systems are involved.
If a gearbox or another major component develops a fault, diagnosis comes first. Scan information can be shared with specialists so the actual failed component can be assessed before assuming an entire assembly needs replacement.
Diesel servicing includes filters and the removal and refitting of pumps and injectors, with specialist diesel work coordinated through an established Bosch-accredited diesel specialist where required.

Campervan and van repairs backed by European vehicle experience
We specialise in servicing European vans like Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot, and Renault.
Jan’s European vehicle experience spans around 40 years, covering traditional mechanical systems through to modern diagnostics and electronically controlled vehicles. Robert’s computer-based diagnostic strengths add to that capability when faults involve modern vehicle electronics.
That combination is useful for campervans and work vehicles, where mechanical, diesel and auto electrical systems often need to be considered together rather than treated as unrelated problems.
Our workshop has a large access door and hoist capacity for many mid-sized campervans and commercial vehicles. Vehicle dimensions do vary, so please tell us the make, model and approximate size when booking so we can confirm workshop access.
Parts are sourced through established suppliers in New Zealand and overseas, and parts and labour warranties apply according to the work completed.
Contact our Pukekohe auto shop about campervan repairs, fleet servicing or commercial vehicle repairs.
We can accommodate many mid-sized campervans, work vans and commercial vehicles, but access depends on the vehicle’s overall size and length. Tell us the make, model and dimensions when enquiring and we can confirm whether it will fit comfortably in the workshop.
Ideally, book well before your planned departure. This gives us time to inspect the vehicle, discuss anything that needs attention and source parts if repairs or preventative maintenance are required. Leaving it until immediately before a holiday can limit your options if parts need to be ordered.
Yes. We handle mechanical repairs, diesel engine servicing, auto electrical fault-finding, and dual-battery checks to keep your campervan reliable on long journeys
We prioritise commercial fleet servicing with streamlined repairs, efficient diagnostics, and bundled WOF inspections to get your work vehicles back on the road faster.
