McGirr Motors

Welcome to McGirr Motors, your trusted car repair establishment in Christchurch, New Zealand. Conveniently located on Gloucester Street, our institution is a point of interest for all your automotive needs.

At McGirr Motors, we understand the importance of ensuring your vehicle is legally compliant and safe to drive on the road. That's why we offer a comprehensive Warrant of Fitness (WOF) assessment service. Our WOF reminder service ensures that you never overlook this important anniversary date, giving you peace of mind.

When it comes to maintaining your vehicle's engine, regular oil changes are crucial. Depending on the age of your vehicle, type of oil, and driving conditions, oil change intervals may vary. Our experienced team, led by Gary, will keep your engine oil in optimal condition and provide the best protection for all your components. We proudly partner with and recommend Pennzoil®, a trusted brand for lubricants.

In addition to oil changes, McGirr Motors offers a wide range of mechanical repairs to keep you on the road. Brake servicing is essential to ensure your brakes operate properly. If you're hearing squeaking or squealing noises from your brakes, it's definitely time to service your brake system. Our expert technicians provide brake inspection and replacement, brake fluid changes, and diagnose ABS faults, ensuring your safety on the roads.

When it comes to tires, McGirr Motors has you covered. We supply and fit Goodride® tires, although we can accommodate other brands upon request. Our extensive range includes options to suit every budget and need, whether you prefer new or second-hand tires. From quality, high-performance tires to those designed for 4x4s, SUVs, vans, and taxis, we prioritize reliability and value.

In addition to tire services, we offer puncture repair and wheel balancing. By addressing these issues, you not only reduce wear on your tires but also on your steering column and other vehicle components. Good wheel alignment not only improves fuel economy but also enhances overall handling, especially when cornering and braking.

At McGirr Motors, we understand the importance of reliable battery performance. That's why we recommend Century vehicle batteries, known for their superior starting power and performance. These batteries feature industry-leading technologies to combat the causes of battery failure, delivering reliability, longer life, and superior performance.

Diagnostic scanning is crucial for maintaining your vehicle's health, as it can reveal a number of issues. At McGirr Motors, we recommend regular scanning to prevent minor problems from becoming bigger issues. Our experienced technicians have the expertise to identify and address any underlying problems, ensuring your vehicle's optimal performance.

But don't just take our word for it. Our loyal customers have been relying on us for over 10 years, appreciating our honest, reliable, and good value services. As a female university student, one customer praised our team for restoring her confidence in car repairs, highlighting our trustworthiness. Another satisfied customer, a backpacker, commended our fast, affordable, and trustworthy service.

Our team, led by Gary Lake and Yutaka Shibahara, boasts 50 years of motor industry knowledge and experience. We pride ourselves on the level of service we offer, and our receptionist/office administrator, Shirley George, ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience at McGirr Motors.

With a reputation for providing honest and friendly service, our business continues to grow through word-of-mouth referrals and positive Google reviews. Many customers who fled Christchurch after the earthquakes have chosen to return to our workshop, a testament to Gary's integrity and the excellent services offered by McGirr Motors.
