The Mangum Motorsports Experience

Mangum Motorsports has proudly served the Palm Coast and Bunnell community since 2020, delivering high-quality automotive service built on trust, craftsmanship, and real-world experience. Founded by Michael Mangum, the shop is the realization of a vision that began years before the doors of our brick-and-mortar location ever opened.

Michael’s passion for cars started the same way it does for many true enthusiasts—working on his own vehicles, learning hands-on, and genuinely enjoying the process. That passion turned into a career as he earned his certification as a Master Technician alongside a degree in Business Management. After graduating, Michael spent years in the industry as a full-time technician, where both coworkers and customers consistently encouraged him to open a shop of his own.

That encouragement eventually led to an opportunity to manage and operate a shop for an established owner—a role Michael held for several years with notable success. During that time, his technical skills, leadership, and commitment to doing things the right way became the foundation for what Mangum Motorsports would one day become.

Outside of daily service work, Michael’s love for cars evolved into a deep passion for racing and performance. He spent countless hours—and yes, plenty of money—building high-horsepower vehicles for the track. Drifting quickly became his racing discipline of choice, and it was during this chapter that the name Mangum Motorsports was born, originally representing the race cars he built and drove as a side passion.

Michael later transitioned into automotive sales, where he successfully built a loyal client base, before returning to the service side of the industry—this time helping customers customize their vehicles with accessories such as window tint, wheels and tires, lift kits, and aftermarket upgrades. It was during this period that he made the move from Utah to Florida, trading snow for sunshine and beaches.

In Florida, Michael continued running well-known automotive shops, building a reputation for honesty, integrity, and customer-first service. His clients followed him because they trusted him—knowing their vehicles were always being serviced with their best interests in mind. When the COVID era disrupted the industry, Michael made the decision to finally step out on his own and build the shop he had envisioned for years.

Today, Mangum Motorsports is a true one-stop automotive shop. From routine maintenance like oil changes and brakes to advanced diagnostics and engine rebuilds, we handle nearly every aspect of automotive service. The only services we do not offer are paint and bodywork.

What truly sets us apart is transparency. At Mangum Motorsports, you’ll never be sold services your vehicle doesn’t need. Every visit includes a comprehensive 25-point inspection, complete with photos, notes, and clear explanations sent directly to you. We follow Motorist Assurance Program (MAP) standards to ensure recommendations are honest, consistent, and easy to understand—so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

As of 2026, Mangum Motorsports has expanded twice and now operates out of a 4,000-square-foot facility with a dedicated team of eight full-time employees. While we’ve grown, our approach has remained the same: do honest work, stand behind it, and treat every customer with respect.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about who we are. We look forward to earning your trust—and your business.
