Our History
Parks Garage had an unusual start - we began in 1925, when founder Matthew Park Sold out of his undertaking business and established Parks Garage.
Matthew Park’s funeral undertaking business, Boon and Company, commissioned to have built a specially designed funeral truck. This is where Matthew Parks passion for trucks was born.
Matthew went on to start up another business - Parks Breakdown in 1925 - and William Hayward joined William Lamb to start Lamb & Hayward Funeral Directors, which still operates in Christchurch today.
Parks Towing & Garage has come a long way since 1925 - we’ve expanded to a fleet of 60 vehicles, and operate a purpose-built facility in Hornby. We’re proud to be a long-standing member of Christchurch’s business community, and pride ourselves on constantly innovating to deliver an excellent standard of service.
