About the yard

More than 50 years of the district's motoring.

Chris Thomsen Motors is a family-owned business that has been looking after the motoring needs of local residents for more than half a century, building a solid reputation across the Kāpiti Coast and Horowhenua for value, range and quality used cars.

It's a yard with a personal touch — the kind where customers come back, and send their kids when it's time for a first car. If the right vehicle isn't on the yard, the buy-to-order service sources it direct from Japan, with condition and quality guaranteed.

And since the 1970s, Otaki Rental Cars has run from the same yard — cars, wagons, multi-seaters and furniture trucks at competitive rates.
