Client Reviews

Chris and Merv at Rigs’nThings have tackled everything from rust removal to servicing my motorhome for a 5,000km South Island trip. I trust their workmanship completely and always pay less than expected. Highly recommended.

After being turned away elsewhere, Rigs’nThings refurbished our bus with expert care—rust repairs, new windows, a full repaint, and excellent communication throughout. It now looks brand new. Couldn’t be happier!
