About us - Italian Auto Centre

Italian Auto Centre was established in 1984 out of the passion that owner, Barry Bateman had for Italian cars.  An engineer by trade, his all-round knowledge of the modern Fiat and Alfa Romeo range is unsurpassed.
 
With over 30 years experience since Barry started the business, the scope and complexity of modern vehicles has increased exponentially. Fiat Chrysler, (producer of Fiat and Alfa Romeo vehicles amongst others) has been an innovator of many technologies including robotic assembly techniques and pioneered fuel management techniques such as common rail fuel injection; both of which are now considered world-wide industry standards. These advances have resulted in the need to embrace increasingly complex technologies, which are a normal day-to-day occurrence at Italian Auto Centre.
 
As a consequence of its growing reputation, Italian Auto Centre has grown into the pre-eminent supplier of Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Fiat Ducato parts and service in New Zealand.
 
It may have been Barry’s singular vision back nearly 30 years ago to apply his mechanical engineering expertise to Fiats, but it is nowadays very much a 21st century operation – a complex mixture of hard engineering and software, the mastery of which the team is justifiably proud.
 
Conveniently located in Otahuhu Auckland, ten minutes from both of Auckland’s main motorway links, we operate from our extensive 1000 m2 premises so we can serve your requirements quickly and effectively. Parking is always readily available for all sizes of cars, vans and Motorhomes.
