Our story

Named for the road. Built for the city.

A workshop with a road, a mayor and four decades of Adelaide behind its name.

SERVING ADELAIDE FOR 40+ YEARS

The name

A mayor, a road, a monogram

Bartels Road runs along Adelaide’s East End, named after Adolph Bartels, Mayor of Adelaide from 1871 to 1873. The name belongs to the city before it belongs to us.

The monogram carries both halves of that story. The Adelaide Town Hall silhouette inside the B honours the city we serve. The road running through it is the journey back — out of the accident, onto the road, on with your day.

For 40+ years, it has been one independently owned workshop, and it remains the city’s only dedicated repair centre.
