## Locally Grown Timber, Milled to Your Project Spec

Timber Doors New Plymouth

MacBlack Timber is a specialist sawmilling, timber merchant and joinery business based at 44 Peat Street in Whanganui, and it exists to make sourcing beautiful, honest timber straightforward. As a working timber yard in Whanganui, the mill supplies locally grown, chemical-free boards cut to your project specification — not whatever happens to be stacked in a big-box store. Customers looking for timber supplies in Whanganui, roughsawn timber in Palmerston North or macrocarpa timber in Taranaki can choose from macrocarpa, Tasmanian Blackwood, poplar, redwood, English elm, cedar and around ten eucalyptus species, all milled on site. Timber is untreated and air-dried, with a kiln-dried finish available, and can be ordered dressed, profiled or straight off the racks. Because every board is sourced from New Zealand farm forestry, the origin is known and the timber is free of chemical treatment — which matters if you are building something you will live with for decades.

## One Mill, One Team, Complete Quality Control

The joinery side of the business puts that same control into finished pieces: hardwood kitchen benchtops in Levin and wooden benchtops made from New Zealand-grown species such as Tasmanian Blackwood, Mountain Ash and macrocarpa, each one milled, dried and finished in-house. For homeowners and builders after character rather than uniformity, this is the difference between a benchtop with real grain and colour, and a sheet of laminate pretending to be timber. Every board is checked by people who have spent years on the tools, so what leaves the timber mill in Whanganui is fit for the job.

## Geartech Automotive Ltd — Transmission, Gearbox and Differential Specialists

Automotive Transmission Specialists NZ

Based in Palmerston North, Geartech Automotive Ltd gives drivers across the Manawatū a straight answer to a problem most workshops would rather avoid: what to do when the gearbox, clutch or differential starts playing up. As automotive transmission specialists, the team lives and breathes drivetrains, from a manual transmission rebuild through to differential bearing replacement and full differential rebuild work. That focus matters to customers, because a specialist diagnosis means the actual fault gets fixed — not a list of guesses. Whether it is a daily runabout, a work ute, a 4WD or a classic project, owners get a clear explanation of what is wrong, what it will take to put right, and an honest gearbox replacement cost before any spanners come out.

Differential Rebuild NZ

There is more to Geartech than gearbox repair, though. The workshop handles car mechanical repairs and full car servicing, along with WoF services, so customers can keep everything under one roof and one trusted set of hands. Quality parts make a real difference to how long a repair lasts, which is why Geartech supplies gearbox rebuild kits, clutch kits, automotive bearings and Motul gear oil — the same components used on its own bench work. Trade customers and home mechanics around the Manawatū are welcome to tap into that supply and advice, and as an Auto Super Shoppe workshop, Geartech backs its servicing and repairs with nationwide support, so peace of mind travels with the vehicle.

Wof Services Palmerston North

What customers really take away from Geartech Automotive is confidence.

Pricing is explained up front, options are laid out plainly — repair, rebuild or replace — and the choice stays with the owner. For anyone searching for a differential repair shop, a car gearbox specialist or simply a reliable local mechanic in Palmerston North, Geartech Automotive Ltd offers specialist knowledge, quality parts and workmanship that keeps vehicles shifting smoothly for years to come.
