Parrellel
to the Princess Hwy in Mulgrave, lies the
modern
Sabbadin Automotive.
Sabbadin Automotive.
You wouldn’t know it from the signage, but from the types of vehicles present you can
clearly see this workshop is geared towards serious motor enthusiasts. In the driveway,
just dropped in was a red RX7 coming in for a fuel line check.
In the car yard in front there are another eight cars currently being worked on ranging from
a project ute, to a standard V6 commodore (just been V500 "WOLFED"). Inside there are
another three vehicles on the hoists.
It's very reassuring from a customers’ point of view to know that the place is fully surrounded
with protective, gates and fencing. There’s three hoists and a 2WD dyno cell which has
been fully inclosed complete with industry sound absorbing foam. You can completely shut
the dyno cell from the rest of the workshop.
Rob and the guys are flat out with project & performance engines seeking power & control.
