About WRS

Driveforce NZ didn't start with a grand plan. It started with a man who was simply very good with wheels.

 

In 2005, John Jack opened a small wheel repair and refurbishment workshop in Auckland. No franchise, no investors — just a genuine craftsman who believed that every car deserved to roll on wheels that looked and performed their best. Word spread quickly. Customers who came in for a kerb-scuffed rim left telling their mates. Over the following years, John built something rare in the automotive industry: a business people actually trusted.

 

For nearly two decades, the workshop became a fixture in the Auckland automotive community. But a wheel repair shop was only the beginning of what this place could be.

 

In 2026, I purchased the business from John — and with it, everything he'd spent twenty years building: the reputation, the relationships, and the standard of work that kept customers coming back.

 

My name is Nav, and I'm not just a new owner. I'm a customer who always believed Auckland deserved better from the automotive industry — better quality, better transparency, and better value. The big chains compete on volume. I wanted to compete on trust.

 

That's the vision behind Driveforce NZ today.

 

We've grown far beyond wheel repairs. Through buycartyres.co.nz and carbattery.co.nz, we now supply tyres, mag wheels, 4WD accessories, and car batteries to customers across New Zealand — with the same values John built the original workshop on: honest advice, quality products, and a fair price.

 

We don't oversell. We don't complicate things. We help you find exactly what your car needs and make sure it's fitted right.

 

John started with a set of wheels and a reputation worth keeping. We're carrying that forward — and building something bigger.
