Founded over 30 years ago by Stu Dunn, Motive Auto Restorers was built on a genuine passion for classic vehicle restoration. What began as one man's dedication to bringing timeless vehicles back to life has grown into a trusted Auckland workshop, where traditional craftsmanship is combined with modern repair techniques to deliver restorations that stand the test of time.

​

Today, we specialise in the restoration, repair and refinement of classic, vintage and specialist vehicles from all makes and eras. Whether it's a complete bare-metal restoration, rust repairs, custom fabrication, panel beating, paint refinishing, low-volume certification work or mechanical assembly, our experienced team has the knowledge and attention to detail to handle every stage of the project. From cherished family heirlooms and weekend cruisers to American muscle cars, European classics and unique custom builds, we treat every vehicle as if it were our own.

​

At Motive Auto Restorers, we understand that every restoration tells a story. That's why we work closely with our clients to achieve the right balance between originality, reliability and personal vision. Whether you're preserving history with a factory-correct restoration or creating something uniquely your own, we're committed to delivering workmanship we're proud to stand behind.

 

Classic metal. Modern standards.
