Royans Christchurch shifts gears into a new heavy vehicle repair facility
Royans Christchurch is on the move – relocating to a purpose-built Heavy Accident Repair facility at 24 Aruhe Road, Hornby. Keeping trucks, buses, and heavy machinery in top shape is vital for New Zealand’s transport operators. Every hour a vehicle spends off the road can mean delays, lost revenue, and pressure on delivery schedules. Reliable, high-quality accident repair and maintenance services are therefore essential – helping operators stay safe, compliant, and ready to roll.
The new accident repair facility opened on 1 November 2025, marking a major investment in New Zealand’s largest heavy vehicle accident repair network, expanding Royans’ ability to deliver industry-leading accident repair service, technology, and turnaround times for commercial vehicles of every size.
Royans is New Zealand’s and Australia’s largest heavy-vehicle accident-repair network. The company offers a range of high-quality services to the full commercial vehicle range.
The new heavy-vehicle accident-repair facility is a one stop-shop offering:
- Accident/collision repairs for all commercial vehicles – from light to heavy
- Truck accident repairs (minor and major)
- Trailer accident repairs – full and semi-trailers
- Bus, coach and campervan accident repairs/ refurbishments
- Spray painting and refinishing (including custom paintwork)
- Chassis alignment/ straightening plus heavy structural repairs
- Sandblasting/abrasive blasting (for chassis, parts, large equipment)
- Equipment and machinery accident repairs (earth-moving, farm, industrial machinery)
- Fleet imaging and signwriting (graphic/wrap work for fleet branding).
The new facility includes 2700m² of workshop space plus 216m² of dedicated offices and amenities, with fit outs for internal gantry cranes, spray booths, chassis alignment, wash bay, and more.
“This purpose-built workshop is designed to provide best in-class heavy vehicle collision repair – greater capacity, more advanced equipment, streamlined workflow, and enhanced customer experience,” says Tony Dalton, Royans New Zealand general manager.
“It represents a significant investment in ensuring we can serve our customers better, faster, and with higher quality,” he says. “We can’t wait to welcome you into our new facility and continue delivering the quality and service you expect from Royans.”

As of 1 November 2025, operations and customer servicing will be based entirely at 24 Aruhe Road. For customers who have previously been served at 60 Treffers Road, Wigram or 108-A Hayton Road, Sockburn, all services will shift to 24 Aruhe Road, Hornby. All enquiries, bookings, drop-offs, repairs, and collections formerly handled at those sites will now be managed at the new facility.
