For nearly 50 years, the Macdonald family name has been part of Invercargill’s automotive landscape, built on tyres, wheels, and a strong connection to motorsport culture. What started with a father running Discount Tyres has grown into a trusted local reputation for honest advice, hands-on service, and a genuine passion for everything on four wheels. That same enthusiasm for performance and reliability has carried through generations.

Now, Liam Macdonald is stepping forward into a leading role as the family business transitions into the Mag & Turbo Invercargill store. This move brings the benefit of a national franchise network, giving locals access to a wider range of tyres, mags, suspension, and performance products, backed by stronger buying power and more competitive pricing, while still keeping the same familiar faces and family ownership at the core.

To celebrate the new chapter opening on May 15, the store will host a community-focused launch featuring a car cruise, store walkthroughs, and in-store specials throughout May. It’s a milestone that blends old-school trust with new-scale capability. Keeping the same family-first approach that has served Invercargill drivers for decades, now with more product, more choice, and more performance options than ever before.
