Driving is an integral part of many businesses in one shape or form, whether it be the transportation of products, providing an outbound service or getting staff such as salespeople from A to B. This is evident in New Zealand by the sheer volume of cars on our roads; in 2021, there were over 4.4 million registered cars in New Zealand. While staff might be out and about less with current alert levels, keeping any vehicle in good working order remains crucial. At n3, we can help with all your vehicle needs. Find out how below.

Car Batteries:

Did you know it’s recommended to perform a battery health check every month? ^[2]. This is particularly important if vehicles have been sitting unused for longer periods. 
At n3, we’ve partnered with top battery suppliers to ensure you get excellent pricing on new batteries. Our Suppliers Century Yuasa and Marshall Power (Exide), are available both On Account and with your Trade Card.

Tyres:

Good tyre condition is essential for your safety and fuel efficiency. The minimum legal tread depth for tyres is 1.5mm ^[3]. To extend the life of your tyres, it is recommended to get your wheel alignment done every 12,000km. n3 has all your tyre requirements covered, no matter how big or small, with suppliers such as Advantage Tyre Solutions, Bridgestone, and Carter’s Tyres on our panel.

Servicing and WOFs:

Regular servicing is vital for keeping your vehicle running smoothly and identifying potential problems before they become significant issues. A current WOF certifies your vehicle’s roadworthiness at the time of inspection. n3 Supplier Pitstop, with locations all over NZ, can assist Members with both servicing and WOFs.

Fleet Optimisation and Tracking:

A GPS tracking system offers more than just real-time location tracking; it provides valuable data to gain operational efficiencies and ensure the safety of your staff on the road ^[4]. n3 Members typically save 11%* with n3 Supplier Argus Tracking.

Savings on Fuel:

Fuel costs can be a significant overhead, but we’re here to help reduce the financial burden with our pre-negotiated discounts with Mobil, Z Business and BP. Save up to 12 cents per litre every day of the year with no card or transaction fees. If you use over 100,000L a year, contact us for special rates for high-volume users. Don’t forget, proper car servicing can help your car run more efficiently and save on fuel costs.


With our broad range of suppliers, we can help our Members save on most aspects of their overheads. If your overheads need an overhaul, why not get one of our friendly Account Managers to do a review? You might be surprised just how much you can save.
