Pimp Your Ride

By Lance Manins | Driveline | 3 November 2021 | Posted in Buyer Tips & Tricks

To Pimp Your Ride is pretty much the “go to thing” these days, whereas 20 years ago you had to be satisfied with what ever the dealer or manufacturer had available straight from the yard as there were few other options out there. Aftermarket accessories were very limited and at best unimaginative and the whole new world of automotive accessory upgrades were yet to open up to us down here in NZ. They were only seen at high end automotive shows or in glossy trade magazines.

Big Changes Over the last Two  Decades

The biggest change that we have seen in the way Driveline does business over the last two decades has been the way we now work direct with trade suppliers as opposed to relying solely on the dealer network for pricing and supply. This presents increased options and pricing advantages for clients as we work to build up a vehicle for clients as part of the Driveline “One Stop Shop “philosophy.

The team at Driveline has everything at out fingertips and we are now able to bring the vehicle into the picture along with an exciting range of vehicle accessory options from an amazing range of nationwide suppliers in a stress free, no hassle environment and best of all its all done without a gold chain or a pair of white shoes in sight !

RVE Is One Of Our Key Suppliers

One of our key suppliers is RVE who specialise in everything from leather interior fitouts right through to alloy/tyre upgrades, hard lids, roof racks and a whole host of other accessory upgrades that you might require for your next SUV or Ute. Once we finalise accessory requirements with you, we then purchase your new vehicle and it is typically shipped direct from the manufacturer to RVE for fitout . Once completed it is sent to the delivering dealer for final PD and delivery checks before handover to yourself as normal which makes for a seamless transaction. Check out the team at RVE here .

Check Out The RVE Configurator

One of the real magic services RVE supply us with is the RVE Configurator. This gives us a chance to build up a stock ute and start adding a wide range of accessories to it. We can build a dream picture up of a clients ute online in real time. It’s a really great way for clients to see what their new ute will look like with different colour and  accessory combinations before they make their final buying decisions. Check out the Configurator HERE

After all these decisions are made, Driveline then provides the best deals and places all the relevant orders with the suppliers . . . . JOB DONE !
