Buying a used car in New Zealand isn’t just about finding one that fits your budget or style—it’s about finding a vehicle you can trust. At MIG CARS, we understand that behind every great vehicle is an even greater responsibility: to make sure what you drive is safe, sound, and built to last.

That’s why so many customers across Christchurch and beyond choose MIG CARS—not just because of our prices or selection, but because of our relentless focus on vehicle condition, in-house quality control, and full-service support.

✈️ We Go to Japan Ourselves—Twice a Year

Every year, our team travels to Japan not once, but twice, to personally inspect and handpick the vehicles we import. We're not just auctioning cars online or through third-party agents. We go straight to the source, so we know exactly what we’re buying—and what we’re selling.

This hands-on approach ensures that the cars we bring back are not only clean but also top-grade, accident-free, and fully traceable through Japanese auction reports and maintenance history.

🔧 One-Stop Service Means Total Peace of Mind

Buying a car is only the first step. What happens after the sale matters even more. That’s why MIG CARS has built a genuine one-stop car care solution that covers everything from pre-sale inspections to long-term maintenance.

When you choose MIG CARS, you're not just buying a vehicle—you’re partnering with a team that supports your car ownership journey from day one to year five and beyond.

🛠️ MIG Repair & Service Center: We Fix What Others Miss

We’re proud to have our own panel and mechanical workshop—something most used car dealers can’t offer. That means:

• No outsourcing, no passing the buck

• Every car is fully inspected and serviced by our in-house technicians

• Every repair is done to our own standards—not just WoF minimums

Our panel shop focuses on making each vehicle look as close to new as possible. From small scratches to more serious dents, our refinishing process restores confidence in both form and function.

🔍 Mechanical Expertise That Protects Your Wallet

We employ senior mechanics with 20+ years of experience. We specialize in engine and transmission diagnostics and repair, because that’s where most expensive problems hide.

Here’s the truth: many used cars pass their WoF or third-party inspections, but still carry hidden issues that could cost you thousands down the road. Our team doesn’t stop at basic checks—we perform deep mechanical testing and road simulations to detect faults before they become your headache.

And to give you extra peace of mind? Most of our used cars for sale come with a free 3-year mechanical breakdown insurance to protect our clients. Diesel and European models are given a free 1-year mechanical breakdown insurance.

🚙 Final Thoughts: Your Car, Done Right from Day One

At MIG CARS, we believe a great used car is about more than just shiny paint or a good deal. It’s about trust. When you drive away with a MIG vehicle, you can be confident it’s been cared for like we’d care for our own.
