North Geelong mechanic Chris Mitsarakis takes great pride in his work at Auto Express Service Centre and Mobile Mechanics.
“When we give a customer’s car back, we give it back cleaner than we got it and running like a dream,” the 42 year old says.
The father-of-two started the family-owned business in North Geelong 19 years ago with his wife after 10 years working at a Mitsubishi dealership.
Joining Chris at Auto Express are Gary Krahe, Mark Hill and Wayne Gray, who together have more than a century’s experience working on cars.
Gary worked with Ford, Mark worked in the Gary Rogers Motorsport V8 Supercar pit team and Wayne has 40 years’ experience with all makes and models.
They recently welcomed new mechanic Joel Clyne, who has an abundance of experience in four-wheel-drive servicing and fitting bull bars, winches, side rails, lift kits and lighting accessories.
The shop moved to 396 Thompson Road 13 years ago and the fully-equipped workshop has six different scan tools.
The business also operates a mobile service to keep the customer’s car going, Chris says.
“If you’ve had a break down or you’re too busy at work, we come to you, Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.”
Auto Express has a seniors discount for over 65s, a 12-month, 20,000km warranty on all parts and labour, and a pick-up-drop-off service.
“We offer the whole kit and caboodle, and friendly service,” Chris says.
Auto Express is also a proud supplier of Ultravision light bars and spotlights.
