    Had such a great experience with Discount Tyres Grey Lynn last week! The team were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and efficient from the moment I arrived. They had a new tyre sorted for me the same day, which made a stressful situation so much easier. What really stood out was the extra care, they even put my brand new spare back in the boot, ready to go for next time. It’s those small touches that make a big difference. Highly recommend if you’re after great service and genuinely helpful people!

    Three years ago, I chose Discount Tires in Grey Lynn for my tire needs. Just recently, I visited them again for wheel alignment and balancing. As always, they did an outstanding job. Their attention to detail and expertise in ensuring my car’s wheels were perfectly aligned and balanced was impressive. It’s clear that their commitment to quality and customer service is consistent over the years. Highly recommend them for top-notch service and reliable products!

    What Auckland City Toyota- Grey Lynn couldn’t fix in 2 weeks, Discount Tyres Grey Lynn fixed in 90 minutes. After months of going back and forth with Toyota - including a recent process where they had my new RAV4 Adventure for two weeks yet still insisted there was nothing wrong - we went to Discount Tyres Grey Lynn for an independent review, who solved the issue in a single visit. They took the car straight in, went on a proper test drive, and immediately confirmed what we had been feeling all along: the car pulled left more than normal, and you had to hold the steering wheel to the right to keep it straight. Even a Toyota-arranged “independent” test drive at Albany Toyota failed to find the problem because they didn’t test it under the right conditions. Discount Tyres listened with care and attention, investigated thoroughly, and fixed the problem with ease. A simple tyre rotation, rebalance and three test drives later, the guys confirmed the issue was sorted. The car now drives like brand new. No excuses, no delays - just honest, professional service and a vehicle that finally feels safe and right to drive. Nick and Wayne were friendly, efficient, and genuinely cared about diagnosing and solving the problem. I highly recommend Discount Tyres Grey Lynn for their professionalism, goodwill, and integrity.

    Wayne gave me the best service. Said he could complete my job in 1.5 hrs, and he did! Great being able to just pop in without an appointment and receive such efficient service. Thanks for helping me get to my lunch date on time !

    Huge thanks to TK once again from Hyper Drive for always looking after me whenever I need wheels or tires. He’s helped me out a lot with my Evo, and now with the Eclipse as well. He always provides great customer service, is easy to communicate with, and makes the whole process simple and stress-free. I really appreciate how he always sorts me out and takes the time to help properly. Definitely a 10/10 experience every time — highly recommend!

    Had Jay come out and fit and balance a new set of tyres for me. Top bloke, turned up on time, got straight into it, and had everything sorted in no time. Did a great job and the wheels feel spot on. Really easy process from start to finish. Would definitely recommend Hyper Drive, and Jay especially. Cheers Team!

    Awesome experience with Hyper Drive Mobile this morning. Steve was super friendly and easy to deal with, and made the whole thing really straightforward. He turned up earlier than expected and had the one new tyre fitted in under 30 minutes. Was also stoked to see he’d polished the tyres and topped up the air in all the others too. I didn’t even realise that was part of the service. Such a nice extra touch. Really good customer service and just an all-round great experience. Thank you!

    I used the chatbot as was so confused what battery I needed. Was so helpful and found the right one. Great service, shipping to my work address, which is an added bonus. Great price for the battery, didn’t know I needed a new one till mechanic flattened my battery.
