Russell Guy (aka Russ/Boss)

 

Russell started in the automotive trade straight out of college. Working at two different workshops one specialising in Citron's and one in all makes and models, Russell then founded Kenepuru Cars with his father in 2004 at the ripe old age of 18. Russell is MTA qualified, a NZ Advanced Vehicle Inspector (WOF authority), and in that time has built Kenepuru Cars into a preferred repairer for all major insurance company's and supplier of a huge range of products and services such as diesel tuning upgrades, MCC 4x4 accessories, Hella Electrical, supplier of all leading tyre brands and much more.

 

In his down time his wife Alicia and two little girls Payge and Paytin take top priority, with (and in no particular order in case his precious motorbike takes offence) hunting, fishing, and getting out on his Harley Davidson rounding out his hobbies.

Hurrell Seuava (aka Bruno)

 

Bruno first started in the automotive trade by completing an apprenticeship course at polytech, then began work experience at Kenepuru Cars in 2012 before becoming a fulltime member of the workshop team in 2013.

Bruno is the powerhouse of the workshop and you will always find a smile on his face, even when analysing the trickiest of automotive problems. His family hails from Samoa but he has lived locally all his life and family is his cornerstone, especially his two sons Xavier and Logan.

 

In his spare time (which he claims to not have enough of) you will find this self-confessed gym junkie off road biking, hanging with his family, or not surprisingly, at the gym.

Claudio Salvador (aka Claude, Mex)

 

Among the many strings to Claudio’s bow, he is a qualified auto electrician and was working as a specialist in this field for 13 years before joining our crew in 2015. This specialised field enabled Kenepuru Cars to significantly widen our all-round service offering and customer base. Claudio is an insurance approved alarm technician and WOF agent, and has attended many trade and specialist courses over the years to ensure we stay at the forefront of this ever-evolving industry.

 

Also a gym junky, Claudio has three kids Isabella, Harvey and Ashlee and a fabulous (and patient) wife plus two dogs Lucy and Libby. He claims spare time is rare but when he gets it you can catch him riding his Harley Davidson or getting one of his many, (oh so many) haircuts!
