It’s this commitment to community that has seen the business thrive, having opened all those years ago when there was a need for a transmission specialist and a large independent service centre.

The team of six offer vehicle servicing and are fuel injection specialists. The technicians are highly trained, staying up to date with their knowledge. Peter said it was his team’s attention to detail which made them stand out. “And the fact that we take pride in knowing our customers by name,” he said.

As years have passed and cars have become more technical, the days of servicing your car in the backyard are long gone Peter said. “A lot of cars now have to be told when the oil or brake pads have been changed something you just can’t do at home without the right electronic tools,” he said.

Kennedy’s is located at 69 Plunkett Street and online at kennedysauto.com.au.
