About EEK Mechanical
EEK Mechanical specialises in wrong-fuel, water-in-oil, and vessel recovery across New Zealand. Most people call us once, in an emergency, and never call again. This page is here so you know what we do and how we work before you pick up the phone.
What we do
If you have put the wrong fuel in the tank, water has got into the engine oil, or contaminated fuel needs draining from a vessel, we arrange collection, work with a certified workshop to drain and flush the system, and coordinate the job through to completion. We also handle insurance paperwork when the claim goes through your insurer.
We are not a general mechanic and we are not a call centre. We specialise in this work nationwide across New Zealand, through a network of NZIFDA-certified operators.
When you call
Michael Smith owns and runs EEK Mechanical. When you call, he answers — personally, 24 hours a day. You will not get an AI voice agent or an outsourced call centre.
He asks what happened, explains the next steps, and books the job.
Text messages, emails, portal updates, and payment links are handled by SquEEK, the business AI assistant. Those messages are signed SquEEK. When something needs Michael's judgment, he replies — signed Michael Smith.
While your job is in progress, call any time. Once the job is finished, use email for anything that is not urgent — that keeps the line free for the next person who needs help now.
Certification
EEK operators work under the New Zealand Insoluble Fuel Disposal Agency (NZIFDA) certification scheme. Contaminated fuel, oil, and vessel fuel systems must be handled by licensed operators — that is what the certification is for.
