The workshop people drive past Devonport to get to.
We are an independent workshop on Faulkner Drive. We work on all makes and models, with our focus firmly on Subarus, and we have the tools and the knowledge to back it up. Basic and major services through to head gaskets, clutches, brakes, suspension, exhaust upgrades, e-tunes and audio.

What we actually do
Boxer engines are our day job, not a side line.
Plenty of workshops will service a Subaru. Fewer will pull one apart. We do the heavy work in house: head gaskets, clutches, full engine rebuilds with studs fitted, turbo and exhaust work, and the tuning to go with it.
It means when something big goes wrong, the car does not get sent away to Launceston or Hobart and disappear for three weeks. It stays here, on our hoists, with the people who pulled it apart putting it back together.
All makes are welcome, and plenty come through. We have had a Porsche GT3 and a Lamborghini in the shed. But the flat fours are what we know inside out.

Thinking of buying a used Subaru? We go over it properly first, so you find out about the head gasket before you hand over the money.

Boxer engines make plug changes awkward and that is exactly why people bring them to us instead of doing it in the driveway.

The workshop
21B Faulkner Drive, on any given week.
Off the clock
Our name is on the side of a drift car.
We back a local Drift League car, and you will find our sticker on the front guard at Tasmanian rounds. It is not marketing so much as the reason most of us got into this in the first place.
The upside for customers is simple. If you want more out of your car than the factory gave it, the people quoting on your exhaust or your tune are the same people who spend their weekends at the track.
What people say
Four point nine, and a habit of rescuing road trips.

“Our car was making a funny noise on the road so we turn up to these guys for a quick check, luckily it was only a rock stucked at the metal bracket of our brake. These guys are so friendly and lovely, fount the problem within seconds and got it fixed straight away without charging us. Highly recommended those professionals for anyone whos having issues with their motors during road trips”
