Is it true that a Chinese mechanic shop is being built right here in Antigua? Word on the street says yes, and already people are buzzing about what this could mean for local business.
Is it true that Antiguans will flock there once the doors open? Many believe so, pointing out that when it comes to fixing cars, price and service speak louder than anything else. Brothers and sisters from China have set up businesses before, and history shows customers rarely stay away.
Is it true that this signals yet another chapter in the growing Chinese footprint in Antigua and Barbuda? The pattern seems familiar — from supermarkets to construction projects, the presence is becoming harder to miss.
And is it true that, in the end, “everybody haffu eat”? That’s the sentiment making the rounds. Whether it sparks competition or cooperation, one thing is certain: this mechanic shop will not go unnoticed.

Sorry for those p.k selling and b.r business …Chinese love group one way ticket.
If local mechanics were honest, fair, and worked in a timely manner there would be no threat from a new Chinese mechanic shop. Improve or be replaced.
🇦🇬✨ Why Single Out the Chinese? Let’s Look at the Facts.
Some voices are quick to criticize Chinese businesses, but Antigua & Barbuda has benefitted enormously from Chinese partnership. Our airport expansion, the Port of St. John’s upgrade, community centers, and even street lighting were all built with Chinese support. Most recently, China pledged US$14 million for Blue Economy development, an investment directly in our future industries.
Meanwhile, the Arabs operate here, competing with locals at every level, but rarely contribute to national infrastructure or long-term growth. The difference is clear: the Chinese are partners who build, not just compete.
What matters most is fairness. Every foreign investor, whether Chinese, Arab, or otherwise, should be measured by the same yardstick: jobs created, skills transferred, taxes paid, and community benefits delivered. Let’s focus on results, not rhetoric.
🇨🇳 + 🇦🇬 = Partnership that delivers.
