About SNM Automotive
Your local, friendly mechanic you can count on.
SNM Automotive is a small, owner-run garage on Maunsell Street in Woolston. Daniel and the team handle everything from a routine service to an urgent repair, and they do it the way a good mechanic should: tell you what's actually wrong, fix it once, and stand behind the work.
Customers stick around because it feels personal. One regular put it best, that coming in here "always felt like a family." Whether it's a courier fleet, a tidy classic 4WD or the family runabout, it gets the same honest attention.

What we do
One workshop for the whole car.
Servicing, repairs, tyres and more, for daily drivers, work vehicles and the cars you actually love. If it has wheels, bring it in.
Servicing & Maintenance
Routine servicing and scheduled maintenance that keeps your car running smoothly, season after season. Done properly, explained plainly.
Mechanical Repairs
From a strange noise to a warning light, we diagnose the real problem and fix it right the first time. No guesswork, no upsell.
Tyres & Wheels
New tyres supplied, fitted and balanced, plus brake and wheel checks. One stop, sorted while you wait where we can.
Fleet Servicing
Reliable servicing for couriers, tradies and small business fleets. We keep your vehicles on the road and your downtime down.
Classic, 4WD & Performance
Classics, 4WDs and modified builds are welcome here. We treat the cars people care about with the care they deserve.
After-Hours & Emergency Call-Outs
Breakdowns don't keep business hours, so neither do we. Stuck somewhere awkward? Call and we'll do our best to get to you.
Classics, 4WDs & performance
The cars you care about, in safe hands.
Plenty of garages will only touch the everyday stuff. SNM is happy under the bonnet of a modified build, a classic 4WD or a weekend project, as well as the family car. The reviews say it plainly: customers with classic and performance cars keep coming back because the work is done with real care.
- Classic, modified and performance vehicles welcomed
- 4WD servicing and repairs
- Honest diagnostics, no unnecessary work
- Fleet servicing for local businesses and couriers
Inside the workshop
A proper garage, not a quick-lube lane.
From euro SUVs to muscle and JDM, the cars that roll through Maunsell Street tell you everything about the kind of work that happens here.
When you actually need us
Breakdowns don't keep business hours.
That's why SNM stays open late through the week and offers after-hours and emergency call-outs. If you're stranded or your work vehicle goes down at the worst possible time, you've got a number that answers and a team that turns up.
Late weekday hours
Open until 20:30 Monday to Friday.
Emergency call-outs
Help when and where you break down.
Fleet priority
Minimal downtime for business vehicles.
Straight answers
We tell you what's wrong and what it costs.
