A successful workshop fitout starts with understanding your business: the work you do, the vehicles you service, how your team operates and where you want the business to go.
Hoist & Garage plans and delivers complete workshop fitouts across New Zealand for automotive workshops, tyre shops and dealerships. We design each workshop around your workflow, available space and future requirements, then specify the right equipment to support it.
From layout design and equipment specification through to installation, certification and training, our team coordinates the complete project. The result is a workshop that flows better, supports productivity and is ready to grow with your business.
Not every workshop has the same requirements, which is why we do not treat every workshop fitout the same.
Every project starts with understanding your workshop.
We take the time to learn about your business, your vehicle mix, your team, and your goals before recommending a solution. Where needed, we'll visit your site to make sure the equipment fits your workflow, not just your floor plan.
Because we've worked on just about every brand of workshop equipment, our recommendations are based on practical experience, not just specifications.
Whether it's a single hoist or a complete workshop fit-out, we'll recommend the equipment that's right for your workshop, your technicians, and your budget.
OEM Approved Equipment
Many products carry OEM approval for franchise dealerships. Ask us about manufacturer-specific requirements.
Installation is where experience matters.
Our technicians install equipment every day and understand what it takes to deliver a safe, efficient installation that performs properly from day one.
Every hoist installation is commissioned and certified to AS/NZS 2550.9 before we leave.
Each installation includes a unique QR code linking directly to your equipment's service history, making future servicing and support quick and simple.
We make sure your team leaves confident using their new equipment.
Whether it's a quick handover or dedicated on-site training, we tailor every session to suit your workshop and your people.
Installation is just the beginning.
We provide ongoing servicing, repairs and annual hoist certification to help keep your equipment safe, compliant and working as it should. Our tailored servicing plans can cover equipment across your workshop, with scheduled maintenance, service records and reminders managed by our team.
A complete workshop fit out starts with listening to the client and understanding their business and equipment needs. This leads into specifying what equipment is fits their requirements, and how their workshop could be laid out. Installation, certification and training follows on from this, along with an ongoing service plan. Hoist & Garage manages the entire process as one integrated solution so the client is not chasing multiple vendors.
Absolutely. Not every project is a full fitout. We regularly work with customers to upgrade or expand existing workshops, whether that’s adding new equipment, replacing older gear, or improving layout and workflow.
We can also service all major equipment brands, making it easy to bring your existing equipment into a single service programme. That means one point of contact to help maintain and support your entire workshop.
We can assess what you already have and recommend the best way forward, so you get the most out of your current setup while planning for future growth.
Yes, Hoist & Garage provides a complete, end-to-end solution. We manage the entire process, from planning and equipment selection through to supply, installation, training, and ongoing servicing. That means you’re working with one partner, rather than coordinating multiple suppliers. It simplifies the process and ensures everything is set up to work together properly.
For new workshops, we work alongside your build programme to ensure equipment is installed at the right stage.
Choosing the right equipment isn’t just about space, it’s about how your workshop operates day to day.
We take a consultative approach, working with you to understand your workflow, the volume and type of vehicles you service, and your future plans. From there, we recommend equipment that fits your operation, not a standard package.
The goal is to get it right from the start, so your workshop runs efficiently from day one.
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project, as well as how ready the site is.
For new workshops, we work alongside your build programme to ensure equipment is installed at the right stage. This includes coordinating requirements like power supply, compressed air, and other services needed to run the equipment properly.
For upgrades, timelines vary depending on the scope of work, but we’ll always plan the project to keep things running as smoothly as possible.
We provide a clear plan upfront, so you know what’s required, when it needs to happen, and how everything fits into your overall schedule.
Yes. We specialise in designing workshop layouts that improve workflow, vehicle movement, and overall efficiency. Our team creates detailed CAD layouts as part of the workshop fitout process to ensure the space works in practice, not just on paper.
