Our History
Servicing vehicles in Auckland since 1937
We started as Wharton & Howard Ltd in 1937 on our previous Shakespeare Road site.
In 2009 the business was bought by Shane Jones who was previously the Commercial manager for Volkswagen NZ. He changed the name to Vodis and introduced the focus on specialising in the VAG brands (Audi, VW & Skoda).
In 2015 the business was bought by Antony & Maureen Urbahn and the business has expanded substantially resulting in us moving in 2019 to our current much larger site.
The business was purchased in 2022 by Joseph Hirst, and continues to offer exceptional servicing of European vehicles.
