Let |ρ| be an algebraic action of the additive group |\mathbb C+ | on the three-dimensional affine space |\mathbb C3|. We describe the group |\mathrm Cent(ρ )| of polynomial automorphisms of |\mathbb C3| that commute with |ρ|. A particular emphasis lies in the description of the automorphisms in |\mathrm Cent(ρ )| coming from algebraic |\mathbb C+ |-actions. As an application, we prove that the automorphisms in |\mathrm Cent(ρ )| that are the identity on the algebraic quotient of |ρ| form a characteristic subgroup of |\mathrm Cent(ρ )|.
