Meet Mali
One mechanic who actually explains things
Mali's Motors is built on something rare in the trade: a mechanic who tells you exactly what was done and what caused the problem, then gives you tips to save money down the track. Every single review names Mali by name, because he is the one who works on your car and talks you through it.
The workshop on Racecourse Road handles everything from daily runabouts to European and JDM performance cars. People come back for the honesty as much as the workmanship, and plenty turn up last minute before a big road trip knowing Mali will find a way to fit them in.
All makes, all models
If it has wheels, Mali knows it
Equipment-approved for European, Japanese and Australian makes alike.
Tyres & wheel alignments
New rubber, fitted and aligned the same day
Mali supplies and fits quality tyres across Pirelli, Nitto, Achilles, Nexen and Yokohama, then dials in a precise wheel alignment so they wear evenly and your steering feels right. Driving on something worn or pulling to one side? Bring it in.
- Supply and fit on all popular tyre brands

Have had work done on quite a few cars now from Mali and I won't be going anywhere else. He always delivers and goes above and beyond; explaining the work that was done and what could've caused the initial problem, plus even giving me future tips to save myself money. Not often you come across a mechanic that won't rip you off. Well priced, work is top notch and customer service is fantastic!
Recommend! We rocked up with worn out brake pads on our campervan at 6pm. Mali was just leaving but he had a look straight away and literally fixed it first thing next morning. Great service, thanks for saving our road trip Mali!
Mali is a great guy, so helpful. We had a problem with the brakes on a caravan we had just purchased, which meant we couldn't take it back to Ashburton as planned. Mali came to the rescue, quickly assessed the problem and had us back on the road safely with a new WOF in no time. Great communication, definitely recommend.
Mali has sorted multiple cars for me to an excellent standard every single time. I would never go to another mechanic.
Mali has been great to deal with. Good communication, manner, prices and workmanship. Highly recommend.
