Petersen Motors 2024

At Petersen Motors, you're not just a customer – you're part of the community. Locally owned and operated by Kaikohe local Hare Pickering, Petersen Motors is a proudly independent Auto Super Shoppe offering trusted, reliable automotive repairs and servicing backed by a national network.

Hare’s story is one of passion, dedication, and drive. After 12 years working at Petersen Motors, he took the leap from valued employee to business owner at just 28 years old. Inspired by advice in Radiator magazine and encouraged by the former owners, Hare has made it his mission to carry on the workshop’s long-standing reputation for great service and honest advice.

Petersen Motors has deep roots in Kaikohe, originally established as a car dealership over 75 years ago. It’s now a fully equipped automotive workshop with a strong reputation in the local community – and Hare is committed to keeping that legacy alive.

With a friendly, experienced team and a strong focus on customer care, Petersen Motors services all makes and models, including 4WDs, EVs, hybrids and light commercials. Whether you need a WOF, brake repair, diagnostics, or a full vehicle service, you’ll get clear communication, fair pricing and quality workmanship every time.

Come and see Hare and the team at Petersen Motors – your trusted Auto Super Shoppe in Kaikohe.
