Our workshop

We have had a workshop on this site since 1986. That’s 35+ years of great service and tens of thousands of cars over the decades!

Paul, who now heads the business, started with his father in this workshop as first-year apprentice in the 1980s, graduating from pumping petrol after school at his parent’s Shell service station, then on the corner of Hutt Street and Gilles. (You could say it’s in his blood.)

Those were the days of ‘fill ’er up, check tyres and oil’, when the attendant would fill your car while you waited.

While the days of pump service at petrol stations are long gone, the personal approach continues today at 107 Auto Repairs on Cardwell Street, Adelaide city. 

At 107 Auto Repairs, the team are genuine, honest, and don’t pressure customers. We tell it like it is—we let you know what your options are for repair or replacement so you can make the decision about what you would like to have fixed and when.

Our valued customers

  • “Paul has looked after my family’s cars for over 20 years without fault. He’s polite, professional, and incredibly experienced. His advice is always honest, his pricing is fair, and the whole process is seamless. Conveniently located just a short walk from the city. Couldn’t recommend him more highly!”

    Alfred Warnecke

  • “Long time customer, first time reviewer. It's so refreshing to have the feels of a country mechanic in the city. My wife and I like that Paul knows our names, our cars, and is really honest and transparent in what we (actually) need. We found Paul from a trusted friend, and we too recommend 107 Auto Repairs to our friends and family in the Adelaide CBD."

    Aiden

  • “We have been clients of Paul at 107 Auto Repairs for over 30 years. Honest, trustworthy and great mechanic and the nicest bloke you could ever meet. The only hesitation we have in letting everyone in on Paul's talents is that he'll get so busy, we won't be able to get a booking! Thanks Paul for all your dedication, hard work and service of all our family vehicles over the decades. Simply the best."
