My name is Danny (Bomber). Born in London, England, I moved to New Zealand at four years old. I grew up on Auckland's North Shore. I left school at 15 and started working at the local garage as spanner hand. This job started a passion (obsession) with all things automotive. A few years later I started an apprenticeship in motor trimming.
I married my wife Carol when I was nineteen. In 1999 we moved to Wellington with our son Zachary.
For more than 30 years I’ve worked in the automotive industry doing car repairs, auto and marine upholstery.
In 2003 Zachary and I started Kohl Rod & Custom from a double garage on the back road to Tawa. It didn't take long until we ran out of space and moved to a bigger workshop. My wife Carol joined us in 2013.
We now run Kohl Rod & Custom from a workshop on Tawa’s Main Road, not too far from that old garage where we started. We are happy to work on Hot Rod and Custom cars, but also your daily driver. We undertake a wide range of work, including :
- WOF inspections.
- Mechanical repairs.
- Car, marine and furniture upholstery.
- Automotive engineering, welding and fabrication.
- Full Hot Rod and custom car rebuilds.
- Ironman 4x4 agents and installers.
- Supply and install stereos, alarms and reversing cameras.
- Car sales and sourcing your ideal car.
