Robinson Instruments are New Zealand’s leading, Automotive and Marine Instrument sales and service provider.

The business has, over 25 years, established an enviable reputation for providing a broad range of instrument-related products and services to all facets of the transport industry including road, rail and sea. Core services include the repair and restoration of existing instruments and electronics, sale of new instruments, parts and accessories, and their installation.

As an appointed Sales and Service agent for VDO products, you can be confident that, if we can’t fix it, then probably no one else can. Our service department is well equipped to undertake a comprehensive range of instrument related service work and repairs. With the addition of our new vehicle workshop Robinsons can now accommodated most vehicles including large trucks and buses. This has greatly enhanced our ability to locate and repair vehicle based instrument faults. Now, better than ever, we can repair, install, and calibrate most vehicle instruments, including fuel, temperature and pressure gauges, speedometers, odometers and tachometers. We also specialise in reconditioning and resorting classic and vintage vehicle instruments. In some instances we can fit new internals into unserviceable instruments such as quartz movements into old clocks.

By providing a ‘one-stop-shop’ we minimise the time that vehicles are off the road. Our workshop has all the necessary facilities to handle most vehicles including trucks and buses, together with an extensive range of examination and testing equipment.
