“I have always been curious about how things work and from an early age, I could be found pulling apart broken toasters, electric motors, lawnmowers, anything that had moving parts.  Sometimes I even managed to fix them,” Brent laughs.  “My mother didn’t thank me for all the grubby clothes I put in the laundry, but she never stopped me from pursuing my interest.  I wanted to know more when I was older, so I trained as an automotive mechanic.  I love the challenge of determining what is wrong with something and then being able to repair it.”

 

It is this fascination for all things mechanical and the experience Brent gained as a mechanic that has eventually led him into the auto dismantling industry.

The Company

Brent Mangos and his wife, Fiona, formed Lite Commercial Dismantlers in 2004. The company operated on a small scale alongside their primary business. After the Christchurch Earthquake on 22 February 2011, they decided to concentrate on the little company that was once just a hobby.

What We Do

At Lite Commercial Dismantlers, we provide quality reconditioned manual gearboxes for 4WDs, utes, and light trucks. We specialise in Ford, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota gearboxes but will also repair or recondition other brands.

After working in the motor trade for over 30 years, Brent now focuses his knowledge on reconditioning gearboxes.  “Helping clients gives me a lot of personal satisfaction.  Sometimes we can’t help the client ourselves, so we do our best to refer them to someone else who can.”  

Although the business is in Christchurch, we offer local and nationwide delivery for all our clients.

Committed To Quality

Lite Commercial Dismantlers aspires to provide their clients with quality products and services. “It is important that our clients feel confident when buying from us,” says Brent.  “Some used parts I refuse to sell because I am not convinced they will perform satisfactorily.  In that situation, I will recommend that the client buy new ones to save themselves from spending more money in the long term.  Why sell someone something you wouldn’t buy yourself!”

Lite Commercial Dismantlers has a range of warranties for the products they sell.
