The Perfect Match

Glamourous Garage may sound like a contradiction, but that is exactly what two Auckland businessmen have created with Matchbox.

New Zealand’s first premier members-only luxury, classic, and race vehicle storage facility is best described as the ultimate toybox…which explains the name, which is a nod to the model cars that sparked a lifelong passion for many enthusiasts. This emotional connection to all things automotive is at the heart of Matchbox, making it more than just a storage facility—it's a sanctuary for car lovers.

Described as "a community built around car enthusiasts' love of all things automotive," Matchbox boasts state-of-the-art security systems, round-the-clock surveillance, and 24/7 access to a concierge and valet service. But Matchbox is designed to be more than just a secure place to store your prized vehicle, also serving as a social hub where like-minded individuals can gather, share their passion, and enjoy themselves in a high-end environment.

“Car enthusiasts are a breed, we are a like-minded tribe and this space caters to their every need.” says Mark Francis, co-founder of Matchbox.

Alongside fellow co-founder Zlatko Filipchich, the pair’s vision has been brought to life with an integrated boutique bar, lounge, and a function space—there’s even a dedicated automotive library.

Matchbox also offers access to a trusted network of experts for vehicle maintenance, detailing, and even restoration. On-site WOF inspections are even available, eliminating the hassle of driving to another location.
