About McGirr Motors

An independent mechanic's workshop at 332 Gloucester Street in the Christchurch Central City, run by its owners since 1999. The website says the two qualified mechanics have 50 years of motor industry knowledge between them. The workshop does warrant of fitness checks and a WOF reminder service, along with oil changes, brake inspection and replacement, brake fluid changes, and ABS fault diagnosis. It also fits Goodride tyres, new or second-hand, and offers puncture repair, wheel balancing and wheel alignment. Century batteries are stocked, and the workshop uses SmartScan diagnostic tools for vehicle scans. Customers mention WOF checks most often, and mention Japanese cars too. The website says the shop uses Pennzoil oil.

Customers say the team is honest and trustworthy, and take time to explain repairs. One customer who had been going to the workshop for years said it reminds them when things are due, and that the work is excellent. Another said the team restored their confidence after feeling taken advantage of by other mechanics. A backpacker said it was fast, affordable and trustworthy when a car broke down on their travels. Customers also say the quote was competitive and became cheaper at checkout. The nearest are Armagh Automotive and Pit Stop Christchurch, both 0.4 km away.
