About us
Challenge Waikanae is proudly family-owned and locally operated by Antz, Catie, Paige and Jack.
Formerly Bohanna Motors and Mobil Waikanae, our sites have entered a new chapter as a modern Challenge fuel station and Elite Diagnostics Service Centre. While the name and look have changed, the friendly, dependable service that Waikanae locals and travelling commuters have relied on for years remains at the heart of what we do.
Our forecourt is about more than just filling up. Whether you’re stopping in on the way to work, heading up the coast, or popping down to the Waikanae River, you’ll find food, cold drinks, snacks and ice blocks, along with LPG bottle fills and the everyday essentials you need on the road.
Right next door you’ll find Elite Diagnostics Service Centre, part of our multi-site, award-winning automotive business.
For customers who have trusted the workshop here for years, our goal is simple: keep the same local, personal service you know, while backing it with the modern diagnostic equipment, technology and expertise of Elite Diagnostics.
Elite specializes in modern vehicle servicing and repairs, advanced diagnostics, auto electrical, WOFs, tyres and wheel alignments, European vehicles, ECU programming and coding, ADAS calibration and more. Our team has built its reputation on investing in the right equipment, training and people to properly diagnose and repair modern vehicles.
Bringing Elite Diagnostics Service Centre and Challenge Waikanae together means you’ve got a locally owned fuel station and a full-service automotive workshop side by side, backed by a wider team, specialist knowledge and the capability of a multi-site automotive business. We’re proud to be locally owned, to employ local people and to look after the community we’re part of. There may be a fresh look and a new name, but the important things haven’t changed: friendly faces, good old-fashioned service and people who genuinely want to help. Now, we’re simply backing that service with even more capability for the years ahead.
