Our History

Where it All Began for FB Auto Repairs

F.B. Auto Repairs

We were established in 1988 by Peter and Margret Wolland as a family-owned and operated mechanical repair workshop. The business has progressed from repairing and servicing cars and 4WDs to including trucks, cranes, buses, and other equipment. We have also diversified to fill the need of several speciality fields: Truck mounted cranes - sales, inspections, service, and repairs.

Our Staff

Most of our tradespeople were originally our apprentices - our way of having staff who know our business and supporting the youth in our local community at the same time. In the products we manufacture or sell and in the mechanical and crane work we do, we use only high quality, reliable brands, and suppliers; for us, it’s all about customer satisfaction. Keeping you happy keeps us happy.
