What Our Clients Say

Real Words. Real Builds.

shores-nz-Toyota

I asked Tim to install extractors and complete a new exhaust system for my 92 Landcruiser. In the middle of that job I also asked if he would make some aesthetic adjustments to an internal support/roll bar. Result was incredible, great workmanship, car sounds and looks fantastic. Happy to recommend the team at Shores, great communication, super fast and fantastic quality of work. I’ve already talked about the next two jobs with Tim!!

shores-nz-subaru-muffler-delete

Tim did an absolute beast of a job on my subbie making it sound amazing. He did a muffler delete and added an exhaust tip I had on there that before hand looked like trash. He managed to get it done in a few hours and at last minute 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽 highly recommend Tim and the team shores nz autoworx
