History

Established as a co-operative in the early 1990s by a group of NZ motor industry people, we're now a privately owned company.

Since 2013 we've been wholly owned by Japanese Export Vehicle Inspection Centre, JEVIC – specialists in used vehicle pre-shipment inspections and odometer verification.

We've been an appointed agent for the NZ Transport Agency for over 20 years, working to ensure vehicles meet their road safety standards.

Today we're a leader in our field and inspect more than 175,000 vehicles annually. We employ over 170 staff across thirteen branches, partners' premises and our National Support Office, based in Mount Wellington, Auckland.

We work in partnership with VINZ and trust them to provide fast, independent and reliable vehicle inspection services, together with great customer service. With their efficient processing of vehicles, VINZ support our business by keeping our taxi fleet safely on the road, with minimum unproductive time. We highly recommend VINZ.

Mark Burns, Managing DirectorCity United Taxis

Throughout our partnership, we have found VINZ to be very responsive to our business, which is highly seasonal – placing huge time pressure on vehicle preparation. VINZ supports our business well because of the 'can do' attitude of their team – from the co-ordination and communication at Reception through to the efficiency and accuracy of their Inspectors in the pit lanes. In a business where getting our cars to road quickly and most importantly safely, VINZ is the perfect partner for Apex Car Rentals and I highly recommend their services.

Grant Nye, National Operations ManagerApex Car Rentals
