Real jobs. Real people.
Every call is someone who needs help. Here are real recovery jobs we've completed across New Zealand — misfuel, water in oil, and everything in between.
Auckland(429 jobs)
Thought I'd ruined it. Luckily caught it before I even turned the key. Bloke on the phone was calm and that helped a lot.
Waikato(422 jobs)
Bit ironic — came all the way from Samoa to visit the Shire and nearly didn't make it home. EEK got me sorted no worries.
Eight k's in a diesel running on petrol — I was sure I'd done the motor in. Stoked it was all fine.
Would have completely wrecked the holiday if we'd had to wait days. Having it sorted overnight meant we only missed one day on the Coromandel.
Canterbury(187 jobs)
Wellington(170 jobs)
I'd done it in my head a hundred times — 'remember it's diesel' — and then went and grabbed the wrong one anyway.
Bay of Plenty(152 jobs)
The apprentice felt terrible but we told him it happens to everyone once. Good that EEK had it sorted so fast.
Manawatu(112 jobs)
Otago(101 jobs)
Hawkes Bay(89 jobs)
Wairoa's not exactly central so I appreciated that they came all the way out. Good service.
Northland(86 jobs)
Mate, I was so relieved when they said don't start it. Saved myself a massive bill I reckon.
I honestly thought the weekend was ruined. They had us sorted so fast we still made it for sunset drinks.
Taranaki(43 jobs)
Southland(43 jobs)
Nelson(37 jobs)
Classic distracted mistake. At least I had the sense not to start it. The team were great — talked me through everything.
Marlborough(35 jobs)
We didn't know New Zealand cars could be diesel — in Japan almost all hire cars are petrol. EEK explained everything very clearly.
West Coast(32 jobs)
We're a small team and that truck is critical for access. Having it back so fast made a huge difference to the project schedule.
Gisborne(24 jobs)
New Zealand(8 jobs)
Manawatū-Whanganui(7 jobs)
I was so embarrassed but the team were completely unfazed. Said it happens all the time with people in new cars.
I was on the phone arguing with a supplier when I did it — classic. They were super efficient, no drama at all.
Tasman(2 jobs)
It's a long way to come but they didn't make a fuss about it. Great team, sorted it properly.
