What AI tells people about you

Fast Parts Truck & Auto Spares in Kingseat specialises in American and Australian truck and automotive parts. Operating since 1994, it sources components from one-off items to complete engines, transmissions and panel parts, and supplies trade customers. The company offers air freight with orders dispatched Saturday in New Zealand and arriving the following Tuesday, and is a distributor for Midwest Truck and Auto.

Fast Parts Truck & Auto Spares is a specialist parts supplier based at 101 Irwin Rd, Kingseat. Established in 1994, it focuses on American and Australian truck and automotive parts and serves both private customers and trade clients across New Zealand.

The business sources a wide range of components, from small one-off items to complete engines, transmissions, driveline parts and body panel sections. It describes itself as able to handle single orders through to full trade supply and lists distribution ties with Midwest Truck and Auto in the United States.

Customers commonly report the team as knowledgeable, and reviews note the location is easy to find. Fast Parts highlights a clear ordering and shipping process: orders leave Saturday NZ time and are delivered by the following Tuesday via air freight. Contact details and a local Kingseat address are published for enquiries.

What distinguishes Fast Parts locally is the long history since 1994 and a narrow specialisation in American and Australian truck and automotive parts combined with rapid air freight availability. The combination of specific-brand distribution links, a willingness to source one-off items and a clear trade-supplier offer positions it as a focused parts source for customers seeking those markets.

01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Fast Parts Truck & Auto Spares shows a very low health score on its Google Business Listing, but it has solid foundations with claimed status, a linked website, live open-for-business status, a matching business title and a live phone number. The main opportunity lies in adding a clear, customer-focused description and filling in visuals and categories to improve presence.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    ClaimedYour listing is claimed, so you control what it says, you can reply to reviews, and edits suggested by the public come to you first.
  • ✓
    NameYour business name is showing on the listing, so a customer searching for you by name finds you, and everything else on the listing hangs off it.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Description lengthThere is no real description on your listing, so when someone finds you on Google there is nothing in your own words telling them what you do.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingYou have no photos on your listing, or close to none, so a customer scrolling past sees a blank where every other business shows their work.
  • 3
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.

Your reviews

Fast Parts Truck & Auto Spares in Kingseat shows below average health on Google reviews, with a health score of 3.0 out of 10. This indicates limited review activity and engagement compared with local peers. A key strength is that customers see consistent responses to reviews, signalling active service and presence. The main opportunity is to grow both review volume and overall star rating to better reflect customer experience and credibility.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Response rateYou answer virtually every review, which almost nobody in this market does, and the page reads as a business that is present.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceRating and review volume together sit well behind this market, which means a customer comparing you has both halves of the picture reading thin.
  • 2
    Star ratingYour rating sits well below what customers here are used to seeing, and it is the first number they compare when two businesses look otherwise equal.
  • 3
    Review countYour review count sits well below what buyers here are used to seeing, which means a customer comparing options side by side reads you as the less proven choice.

Where you show up on the map

The Maps search health for Fast Parts Truck & Auto Spares in Kingseat is below average, with a health score of 3.6 out of 10. The business ranks well in several nearby areas for used auto parts, but ownership of local suburb searches remains limited. Focused gains in suburb visibility and steady review growth are the key opportunities.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility in your own suburbWe are not seeing you in Maps searches in your own suburb, which is the search a customer standing a street away actually makes.
  • 2
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.

Where customers find you

The health of Fast Parts Truck & Auto Spares is 6.4 out of 10, indicating an above-average online presence health. The top finding is missing active Instagram and Facebook profiles, which limits visibility for potential customers. Filling these gaps will improve reach and trust.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Having a Facebook page at allWe found your Facebook Profile page, and the trail is strong enough that nobody would question it is yours - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.
  • ✓
    White Pages ListingWe can see your White Pages Listing listing (https://whitepages.co.nz/fast-parts-truck-auto) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1

  • 2
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Fast Parts Truck & Auto Spares has a Low Facebook Page health level, with a 1.5 out of 10 score. The page gives customers clear ways to make contact through its phone number, email address and street address, and its link points to the business's own domain. The main gaps are no recommendations, a Facebook-generated page address, a short intro, no cover photo and a modest follower audience.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page goes to a domain that is yours, so a visitor who came for the photos leaves on your terms and the enquiry lands in your inbox rather than someone else's.
  • ✓
    A phone numberA phone number shows on your page, so the person who found you on Facebook before they found your website can ring straight from it.
  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Recommendations on your pageNo recommendations sit on your page, so a stranger who came to see whether anyone else has used you leaves with only your own posts to go on.
  • 2
    A page address you choseYour page address is one Facebook generated rather than one you chose - your business name with a long number bolted on, or just the number.
  • 3
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.

Your website

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    Domain UniquenessYour web address is yours alone, so everything your site earns - links, mentions, search standing - accumulates under your name and stays with the business.
  • ✓
    FaviconThe tab your site opens in carries your own icon, so a customer with a dozen tabs going can find their way back to you by sight.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 2
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.
  • 3
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from fewer separate sites than most profiles the size of yours.

    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.

    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Hours are well aimed: the health score is 10.0 out of 10, and available information shows no recorded market demand to indicate missed busy times. No closed-hours window is listed because the market has no demand data this week, so customers meet a closed door where unmatched busy hours would otherwise be identified. The busiest hours cannot be named from the available data, so no specific change can be prescribed to let customers arrive or be served.
