MANUKAU AUTO & TYRE CENTRE was started in 1986 by Nigel Stickland, doing mechanical repairs and car servicing, branching into tyres and mag wheels in 1988.
Within a short time we were the market leaders in wheels and tyre sales in Auckland.
As a qualified engineer by trade, Nigel Stickland soon recognised the need for specialist alloy wheel repairs and branched into that field in 1990. A full machine shop with specialist wheel repair equipment was set up in a separate workshop.
The three divisions of the company now employ a total of 13 staff.
