Automotive performance & muscle Car workshop
An exciting opportunity to acquire the well-established and highly regarded Steve Hildred Motors, with a proud history dating back to 1981. Specialising in modified vehicles, American and Australian V8 muscle cars, this custom workshop has built a strong reputation over more than four decades. The business has a loyal client base extending throughout New Zealand and has traditionally operated largely through word-of-mouth referrals.
The workshop caters predominantly to modified and performance vehicles, offering a comprehensive range of specialist services including bench dyno and rolling road dyno tuning, suspension and brake work, engine building, carburettor rebuilds and jetting, EFI tuning and reprogramming of GM vehicles, and modified vehicle certification work (subject to LVVTA approval of the purchaser).
This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced mechanic, automotive technician, or someone with a strong mechanical background and a genuine passion for American and Australian muscle cars. The business offers an established platform, specialist equipment, industry knowledge and a valuable reputation that would be almost impossible to replicate from the ground up.
There is also significant potential to grow and develop the business further. A new owner with a focus on professional marketing, social media, online presence and customer engagement could unlock substantial additional growth.
Whether you are an experienced mechanic looking to step into business ownership or an automotive enthusiast wanting to turn your passion for modified and performance vehicles into a commercial opportunity, this established business presents a rare chance to take over a respected name within the New Zealand automotive scene.
Land and buildings are also available, providing an opportunity for a purchaser to secure both the established business and the property from which it operates.
