Let’s be honest: life on the Hibiscus Coast is busy. Between school drop-offs at Whangaparaoa School, sports practice in Stanmore Bay, and the daily commute, your car is the unsung hero of the family. But finding the time to drop that car off at a workshop, arrange a lift back, and then trek back to collect it? That’s a logistical nightmare no parent needs.

At McMahon Automotive, we believe car maintenance shouldn't feel like a second job. That’s why Scott McMahonbrings the workshop to you.
Why Whangaparaoa Families are Switching to Mobile
Whether you need a mobile mechanic in Manly or you're parked up in Gulf Harbour, the traditional "garage day" is becoming a thing of the past. Here is how Scott helps local parents reclaim their time:
No "Toddler Tantrums" in Waiting Rooms: Forget trying to keep the kids entertained in a greasy waiting room for two hours. Scott services your vehicle right in your driveway while you stay in the comfort of your home.
Work from Home? Keep Working: If you’re a professional based in Red Beach or Stanmore Bay, you don’t have to pause your day. Scott can perform a full Gold Service or WOF repairs while you’re on your Zoom calls.
Convenience Across the Coast: From Stillwater to Orewa, Scott covers the entire peninsula. You don't even need to be home—as long as he has access to the keys and a flat spot to work, your car can be sorted by the time you get back from the shops.
Meet Scott McMahon: Your Local Expert
With over 25 years of experience, Scott isn't just any mechanic; he’s a qualified expert who lives right here in Manly. He understands that for families in Silverdale or Gulf Harbour, a reliable car isn't a luxury—it’s a necessity.
Scott’s "workshop on wheels" is fully equipped to handle everything from routine oil changes (our popular Bronze, Silver, and Gold packages) to complex diagnostic scans and brake overhauls.
"Being on the road has its advantages, especially for stay-at-home parents," says Scott. "They have the convenience of having their car serviced in their own garage without needing to worry about courtesy cars or making special arrangements."
