Beginnings to Nationwide
Service” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]What started as a mobile wheel repair service, known initially as SMART Automotive Repairs, has grown into a trusted brand that now offers a wide range of mobile repair services nearly all across Australia.

Our founder, who had previously worked in the SMART auto repair industry in the UK, recognised the need for a convenient, high-quality solution for vehicle owners. Armed with determination and almost no capital, he took a leap of faith and purchased his first van from a hippie surfer in Clovelly — a 1995 VW Transporter, which, though it was a “hunk of junk,” became the start of something big. After extensive work fixing up the van and equipping it to meet the demands of mobile repairs, SMART Automotive Repairs was born.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_color=”#2c2829″ scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” class=”team-sec2″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” el_class=”team_left_1″ width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”13359″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” el_class=”auror-trust team_right_sec” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”Commitment to Service and Quality”][vc_column_text]Through tireless dedication and a relentless commitment to service, quickly built a reputation for quality, reliability, and convenience. Customers appreciated the ability to have their wheels repaired at their homes or offices, and word of mouth spread. This success led to a rebrand to PRO Auto Repairs, reflecting our founder’s vision of expanding beyond just wheel repairs to offering a wider range of services.

We began with mobile wheel repairs but have since expanded into paint repairs, detailing and beyond. Our fleet now includes an extensive fleet of mobile repair vans, servicing a growing customer base across most of Australia.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_image=”13360″ bg_position=”center top” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” class=”crlook_sec team_sec3″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”Expanding Across Australia” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Starting in Sydney, PRO Auto Repairs quickly became a trusted name, offering high-quality repairs to individuals, businesses, and car dealerships alike.
