Our founder, Ranga Sumanasekera, has always lived by a simple belief. "Follow your dream goal & push it to a finish. Do it with your heart, you will never go wrong."
With a strong passion for cars since early childhood, Ranga was driven to learn more about vehicles after leaving high school. He gained basic knowledge from leading automobile training institutes in Sri Lanka (initiated and founded by Japanese and German Governments). He subsequently completed his Automobile Engineering Degree in Russia and England. Remarkably, he became qualified at an early age and gained experience working for several local and overseas motor companies included experience working on or for Mitsubishi, Audi, VW, Skoda, Seat and Lamborghini. Having gained sufficient experience, he migrated to New Zealand to work under a reputable automotive company for a well-known car dealership that specialises in brands such as Volvo, Jaguar, and Land Rover. After completing further examinations in New Zealand, he then became a vehicle inspector.
Now armed with a wealth of experience and knowledge, he decided to launch his own business. This was the beginning of Auto Connection.
Autoconnection has one goal in mind: to offer car owners and fleet managers…
To deliver on this goal he built the business on three “pillars”:
1. No hidden surprises. he knew car owners hated being “overcharged.” By this, he means extra (unnecessary) work being done on their car - and added to the bill - without their consent. So, he was determined to run a repair shop that only did work necessary to a car’s safety and performance.
2. Sound repairs performed correctly. Apart from breaking down in the middle of nowhere (or being stuck in traffic) nothing is more frustrating for a car owner than having to take their car back to a mechanic because a repair failed to “hold up.” So, he was determined to ensure the quality of our work minimised the chance of this happening.
3. Great customer communication. And finally, he was determined to operate a business that communicated well with its customers throughout the entire process of repairing or servicing their car.
And to make it all happen, he put together a team of mechanics who have repaired and serviced just about every make and model of car. More specifically, …
