Motordrome's roots run deep in Hawke's Bay.
The business started in the early 70s when Basil Le Prou opened a small tyre service and retread plant in Hastings, eventually growing into one of the largest independent tyre companies in NZ with eight tyre centres and three retreading factories across the lower North Island.
In 1991, Basil's family bought the Hastings operation back and opened the Napier branch, the same branch you're looking at today. It's still family run. Basil's grandson, Wade Colville-Smith, manages the Napier shop, with managing director Lester Colville-Smith overseeing the wider business.
Three generations of the same Hawke's Bay family. Over 27 years serving local drivers from this site. Honest pricing, straight talk, and the kind of service you only get when the owners actually know your name.
That's the Motordrome difference. Locally owned. Locally accountable. Always has been.

Our Napier team handles the lot, all under one roof:
New tyres, fitting and balancing
WOF inspections
Vehicle servicing and repairs
Battery testing and replacement
Pop in, give us a bell, or book online. Fair pricing, fast turnaround, and proper Hawke's Bay service from a team that knows what they're doing.
