Farm servicing & repairs
Seasonal farm vehicle maintenance planning
Make a maintenance plan before the vehicles and machinery are needed for a busy period.
Speak directly with Raj, a mechanic with 20+ years of experience across India, Saudi Arabia and New Zealand, including eight years in NZ. His previous work at Almarai included tractors, loaders, forklifts, trucks and hydraulics.
Prioritise the machines you depend on
List the tractors, loaders, farm utes and other vehicles required for the coming work. Add their hours or kilometres, last service date and any unresolved faults. Start the discussion with the machines that have no easy substitute or need parts ordered in advance.
Build a useful job list
Separate scheduled maintenance from specific repair complaints. Note access, attachment changes and available workshop space. Raj can discuss individual vehicles and a sensible sequence for assessment; a list of machines is not a fixed-price fleet contract or a promise that every task can be completed in one visit.
Agree responsibilities before work starts
Confirm the site contact, who approves extra work and how machines will be isolated and kept unavailable during repairs. WorkSafe highlights the need for farms and contractors to coordinate site hazards. Keep completed work and outstanding tasks in a shared record so the next operator knows the machine’s status.
What to send with your enquiry
- Machine list with hours or kilometres
- Upcoming work dates and known faults
- Site contact, access and service records
You can also send the enquiry form with photographs. Photos support the first conversation; inspection may still be needed before a reliable repair quote.
Local bookings and nearby visits
ARM Cars is based in Morven, serving Waimate District and nearby South Canterbury communities including Glenavy, Studholme, Willowbridge, Makikihi and St Andrews. Call before visiting. For a nearby mobile job, send the exact location so Raj can confirm access, travel charges and whether the work is suitable on site.
How much will it cost?
Pricing depends on the vehicle or machine, diagnosis, parts and agreed labour. Ask for the inspection charge, an estimate or quote for the proposed work, and the process for approving anything additional. An online enquiry is not a confirmed appointment.
