WELCOME TO STU MACDONALD MOTORS

We are the one-stop-shop for all your car needs, with over 30 years of experience buying, selling, importing, servicing, and restoring vehicles in Hawke’s Bay. Family-owned and run, we stand by the quality standard our customers have known and trusted over the decades.

U.S. MUSCLE CAR SPECIALIST

Our American Classic Cars have been imported into New Zealand and laboriously detailed to mint condition (although we call it a labour of love!). After months of tender loving care, they are rust-free, non-accident, turn-key cars, as beautiful as the day they were assembled; fully compliant and ready to drive off the lot and into your collection.

Workshop

Who better to look after your car than the trusted people who sold it to you? We stand by the quality of each of our cars and want to keep them running in tip-top shape over the course of their lives. Whether you’ve purchased from us or not, book in today for your next service, WOF, or to check out that funny sound you’ve been hearing.
We also partner with Assurant to provide the nation’s best Mechanical Breakdown Insurance. In fact, a 6-month policy is complimentary with any vehicle purchase, how great is that?
