An independent Christchurch workshop, run on word of mouth
Mallus Auto Repair started its journey in 2019 and has grown the way good garages do, on repeat custom and neighbours telling neighbours. We're a modern, well-equipped workshop in Wigram with multiple hoists and a Hofmann geoliner alignment system, but what people actually remember is how they were treated.
Aby, our lead mechanic, will happily explain exactly what he's found and why, and talk it through until you're comfortable. You leave knowing what was done and what it cost, never feeling like you were sold something you didn't need. That's the whole point of the place.
"The parts ended up costing more than the labor, which shows they are not overcharging for the work."

"Excellent experience. They replaced my CV axle, did the wheel alignment and balancing, and the job was done perfectly. What I appreciated most was their honesty. The parts ended up costing more than the labor, which shows they are not overcharging for the work. They completed everything in just two days, which is rare these days. Clear communication, fair pricing, and professional service. Highly recommended."
"I was recommended this place by a buddy and I am extremely grateful to have found a very honest & professional auto repair shop. Aby is very knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to diagnose what needed to be done and had my repairs finished by the same day. Very reasonable prices, no unnecessary added repairs. He made me feel comfortable the entire time and had no problem explaining each repair that was done. I'm definitely coming back in the future."
