Over 100 years of trusted auto electrical service in Auckland
Simms Electrical is one of Auckland’s longest-standing auto electrical specialists. What began as a small local workshop in the early 1900s has grown into a modern, fully equipped operation that services commercial vehicles, fleets, trucks, and everyday motorists across the region. For more than a century, customers have relied on Simms to keep their vehicles running, earning, and safe on the road.
Our reputation has been built on consistency. Generation after generation, Simms has remained committed to honest workmanship, practical problem solving, fair pricing, and a level of service that reflects deep roots in the community. Today, we combine that legacy with advanced diagnostic tools, skilled technicians, and a service model designed for the speed and demands of modern commercial transport.
A team built on experience and reliability
We operate from our Onehunga workshop with a team of qualified auto electricians who know how to diagnose faults quickly and repair them properly. That experience matters. Whether it is a wiring issue, an alternator problem, a no-start situation, or a complex heavy vehicle system, our technicians are trained to get to the solution without unnecessary delays.
We invest in the right equipment, the right parts, and the right people so that every job meets the standard customers have expected from Simms for decades. It is a straightforward approach that has kept us operating continuously for more than 100 years.
Serving Auckland’s commercial and private vehicle owners
While we continue to serve private motorists, much of our work today involves supporting commercial operators who cannot afford vehicle downtime. Our clients include trades, courier fleets, logistics companies, construction teams, transport operators, and businesses that rely on their vehicles every day. We understand the pressure to keep vehicles moving, and we structure our service to reflect that reality.
From full workshop repairs to mobile call-outs, battery diagnostics, air-conditioning servicing, heavy vehicle electrical repairs, and ongoing fleet maintenance plans, Simms Electrical is built to support the range of vehicles Auckland businesses run.
