Sad times but good memories 😭

Memories made that will last a lifetime and will never be forgotten 🫶

Been a blast working and collaborating with Autobarn Maitland for the 12 months being Garage Torque but even longer memories hanging out, being mates pre Garage Torque days.

Sad times but all the best to workers on finding new jobs.
If there are any business that follow us that have positions going please post them in the comments below to help our mates out 👇

Let's show our support and buying what we can during the close down period 🙏

Today, 21 years has come to an end.

Unfortunately with recent events leading up to Dad’s passing, and since that time, we can no longer operate under the Bapcor umbrella trading as Autobarn Maitland and it will cease to operate.

It was a great experience until now, all 4 of us kids have had a hand in running this business and we have many happy memories with our family and staff over the years.

We will be open for a few weeks as a no name store to sell through our stock, so please pop in and help us get through all our stock.

We fought as hard as we possibly could, if we could have avoided this we would but unfortunately, it was out of our control.

We thankyou for your support and patronage over the years.
