Our history (in Riwaka)
Riwaka Garage moved into local Ferguson family hands during1956. Originally owned and run by Jim and Dot Ferguson who then handed it on to Nev and Julia Ferguson.
In 2017 Nev and Julia sold the business to Shaun and Sheridan Brereton. Shaun had already been working at the garage for 15 years and so taking over the reins was a natural progression.
RG Automotive today… to be updated soon.
As important as it has always been, Riwaka Garage…

ensures local agriculture is able to work at peak efficiency with reliable machinery and tractors
