It was Lochie’s turn in the Midtown Motors Bake Off competition this week.

He came in as a strong contender with his delicious Oreo cheesecake and what an effort! 👏

For someone who doesn’t spend a whole lot of time in the kitchen, this was a pretty impressive achievement! 😋

Well done, Lochie! You definitely gave the competition a run for its money! 🏆🍰

This week was Raj's turn to enter the Midtown Motors Baker off. He went all out with a 10-hour smoked beef brisket, followed by a 4-hour rest period.

Served up with creamy coleslaw and fresh buns, it was definitely a serious contender.

And just when we thought we couldn’t eat another thing… dessert arrived! 🍫 Raj made a chocolate chippie log with a side of custard. 🤤

After 10 years at Midtown Motors, it's time for me to sign out! 👋
From Kindy teacher to office extrodonaire, I've definitely learnt a lot about cars.

It's been an incredible decade of, juggling paperwork, keeping the office running smoothly and chatting with our amazing customers

I've decided to pursue an alternative career pathway (whatever that may bring) but I'll still be managing the business finances from home.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years. I'll miss seeing your friendly faces.

Janine, signing out! ❤️

Today we mark an incredible 10 years of Midtown Motors Whanganui 🎉

Raj and Janine took over on 1st April 2016 with just one hoist and four jobs booked for the first week. With our third baby almost due, we took a leap of faith with a dream to grow something special and deliver amazing service to Whanganui.

Fast forward to today we’ve completed a whopping 25,703 jobs and now maintain close to 9,000 vehicles in our community.

We’re so grateful to every customer who has trusted us along the way, and to our awesome team who make it all possible. Here’s to the next 10 years! 🚗🔧

Today we celebrated Allan's 5 year anniversary at Midtown Motors. Allan started out with us as a young 19 year old apprentice who loved to tinker in his shed, and now he is a fully qualified automotive technician, with his WoF authority and certified Honda tech. It's been amazing to see you learn so much while being here at Midtown Motors.
Allan loves Military planes so we organized a 1hr flight for him in an ex Military aeroplane and a bottle of his favourite Appleton's. We thank you for your loyalty Allan Gibson

Today we bid farewell to our iconic 'Rhonda the Honda', our loyal loan car.
Love her or hate her, she's been part of the family at Midtown Motors for over 8 years and hasn't missed a beat.
Rhonda kept our customers safe right to the end, and thankfully today's driver walked away unscathed.
She even made it to Tik Tok and YouTube (see comments section) 😆

We’d like to welcome our new apprentice Lochie.

We didn’t advertise the job.
We didn’t interview anyone.
He just kept appearing in the workshop like a check-engine light we couldn’t clear.

Eventually we accepted our fate and put him on the payroll 😜

Here is a write up about him in today's Chronicle.
