SCUBA cylinder visual and Hydro tests.

Bobs Gas and Cylinder Services Tauranga is one of the longest established test stations in the country. Our test mark has been around since the mid 70's passing though several owners and company name iterations.

We test large numbers of SCBA and SCUBA cylinders every year, all year long. Trusted by emergency services, private and commercial divers, and industry day in and day out.

We have a large site with plenty of parking and our drive through layout even accommodates boats. So stop in on the way to or from the water and don't battle traffic or poor parking to get your dive cylinders tested and or filled.

Save on your fills with our buy 10 get 12 deal.

Open early, Monday to Friday, you can even get to us on your way to work.

Can't get in, no problem we can come to you. We offer a pickup, test fill and deliver service covering the entire Bay of Plenty. Drop us an email and we will get you sorted.

Summer is coming ...
Given recent weather it would be easy to wonder if it really was going to happen!

Before we know it we will be packing for time away with friends and family. As kiwis this will often mean time on or under the water.

Don't forget to get your dive cylinders sorted .. before the last minute rush.

Now is the time to drop them in for a visual or hydro so you can be sure they are safe and able to be filled.

To help with the planning we have a special offer. Drop your cylinder in before 5pm on 30 November and not only will you get our awesome service for a competitive price but we will also throw in a free fill.

So if you want to be ready for summer, beat the rush, drive through, even with your boat on, drop off and get a free fill.

See you soon.

We are Hiring!

Bobs Gas is looking for an accounts guru, someone who has an amazing ability to get the detail right, while smiling and having fun.

We use Xero, with Light Speed over the top, Deputy to the side and Woo Delivery around the edges.

We need someone who can keep on top of the Lightspeed/Xero world, accounts recs, customer balances, and basic accounting needs. Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable will also be in your basket. All the weird and wonderful magic that needs to happen in the background to make the team look awesome out front. ;-)

If you have some years of Xero experience, perhaps in an accounting firm, or as a senior book keeper type role, and you have a passion for people and numbers and getting it right, then we need you.
(N.B. this is definitely not a Xero beginners role)

Hours could be a bit flexible, school hours would work. Some travel between our sites to learn how we operate and help the team with training, but mostly based from our Oropi Road, Tauranga site.

You will be working with the owner, our accountant, and across the Bobs Gas team.

This is a new position, available for an immediate start.

If it sounds like you, or someone you know then send us a message and we will be in touch.

LPG 9kg Fill $20.00!!!
Beat the cost of living crisis and help us recycle at the same time.

Yes just $20.00 to fill your 9kg LPG cylinder at Bobs Gas and Cylinder Services - Tauranga

This is not a misprint, but there are details you need to be aware of:

* Our $20.00 9kg fill is using residual gas* (see below to find out what this means)
* Fills are completed by a decant method, which is slower than pump filling. We have a bulk tank and pump coming, but the wheels turn slowly so it will be some months before pump filling is an option. We do have a comfy couch for you to wait on, or you can drop off and collect later if you prefer.
* Fills are subject to having residual gas on hand. We usually have plenty, but demand can out strip supply.
* Part fills are not available on this offer. Any 9KG cylinder will be charged as a fill, at $20.00
* Our loyalty card doesn't apply to this offer
* This offer only applies to fills at Bobs Gas and Cylinder Services Tauranga. Sorry but it is not available at our Whakatane or Kopu sites.

*Residual Gas - At Bobs Gas and Cylinder Services Tauranga we test a large number of LPG cylinders for clients from Auckland to Cambridge, Tauranga, Te Puke, Whakatane and beyond. Before we can test these cylinders they need to be completely empty of LPG. This LPG is known as residual gas. What you need to know;
* The propane/butane mix cannot be guaranteed. Most of the time it is likely to be no different to any other LPG, but sometimes it might be older LPG, or a higher percentage of butane.
* Residual LPG can be a "dirty gas" meaning it may increase the frequency of servicing needed on your appliances. This is a low risk given where our residual LPG is coming from.
* Sometimes residual LPG will burn a more yellow, lower heat flame.

You should also know that the Bobs Gas Tauranga team all use residual LPG ourselves for our heating, hot water, cooking, camping etc, with no issues.

Some testing sites include residual gas in their fills without letting you know. We choose to tell you about it, up front, and give you the choice.

Come on in, ask any questions you need to, and then save on your next 9kg LPG fill.

Available NOW, while stocks last.

Call now to connect with business.
