Mag & Turbo Christchurch, at 1/43 Fitzgerald Avenue in the Central City, is a locally owned tyre and service centre with a purpose-built showroom where wheels and tyres can be seen in person. The website says the business has been part of the Central City community for 30 years. Its mag wheels come in black, machined, gunmetal, white or silver, and its tyres include brands such as Michelin, Pirelli, Falken and Maxxis. Services include basic, standard and premium servicing, brake repairs, wheel alignment on two machines, and suspension upgrades from lowering springs to 4x4 lift kits. Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the phone number is 0800 MAGS 4 U.
Customers mention tyre replacement and puncture repairs most often. One said the team were helpful with wheels, and another said a puncture repair was hit and miss on whether it could be fixed. That customer also said a quote for a new tyre was cheaper than any other they had seen in Christchurch. The website says a Tyre Service sticker on a car windscreen entitles the owner to free tyre services from the store of purchase for the life of the tyres. The three other tyre shops within a kilometre have no rating shown. Our pick in Christchurch Central for wheels and tyres you can see in person.
