About Us

Kyle Butt and Bjorn Cowdrey have always had an interest in cars, motorbikes, and the automotive industry in general. After working many years in workshops of other businesses in Marlborough, they saw an opportunity to offer a wide range of vehicle servicing and repairs at a high standard at a very reasonable price.

In 2013 they partnered to form Westwood Mechanical.

With their 20 years of combined experience, qualifications, work ethic, passion for all things with a motor - Kyle and Bjorn have built a loyal customer base that so far has grown through word of mouth advertising only.

Kyle grew up in the Waihopai Valley before moving into Blenheim in 2003.

After finishing college, he became employed at Blenheim Toyota as a general hand, which lead to a position in the workshop and eventually an apprenticeship. He spent six years in the workshop before moving to a position in the parts department, and then to the role as Service Advisor.

Kyle left Blenheim Toyota with various training and a NZQA qualification, and decided to partner with Bjorn to start their own business / auto workshop - Westwood Mechanical.

Kyle is married, no kids as of yet, and has recently built and moved into a new home in Rarangi.

In mid 2018 Bjorn took the opportunity to work for another local company.
