What we do

Services

WOF

Warrant of Fitness

Thorough WOF inspections for all makes and models. We'll walk you through anything that's borderline — and never fail you on something that didn't need it.

SRV

Scheduled Servicing

Full and interim services following manufacturer guidelines. Oil, filters, fluids, belts, brakes — done right the first time.

BRK

Brakes & Suspension

Brake pads, rotors, calipers, shocks, struts, wheel bearings. We'll tell you what's urgent and what can wait — and we mean it.

DIA

Diagnostics

Dashboard warning lights, electrical gremlins, intermittent faults. Modern scan tools plus old-school know-how.

TYR

Tyres

Supply, fitting, balancing, and rotation. We stock a good range of quality tyres and will recommend the right tyre for your budget and driving.

PPI

Pre-Purchase Inspections

Buying a used car? We'll give it a proper going-over and tell you exactly what it needs — so you can buy with confidence or walk away.

About us

Your local New Brighton workshop

Magan Motors has been looking after cars in New Brighton for years. We're a small workshop, and we like it that way — every car gets the same care, whether it's a first WOF or a full engine-out service.

Our job isn't to upsell you. Our job is to keep your car safe, tell you what's actually going on under the bonnet, and be straight about what needs attention now versus what's fine for another six months.

All makes and models welcome. If it drives, we can look after it.

"I always bring my cars here. They know what they're doing, and they're honest about what needs fixing now and what can wait."

— Steve, regular customer
