Patrick Connolly

Connolly motors has been a family owned and operated mechanical workshop since 1951. That is over 70 years keeping families safe in the local neighbourhood. From Toyota to Audi or Holden to Peugeot, we pride ourselves on our ability to handle repairs on any make or model. Our Sandgate mechanics are factory trained with over a collective 100 years of experience of most of the major manufacturers (Australian, European, Japanese, Korean) including light truck and buses, diesels and late model European vehicles. We aim to provide an experience that leaves you feeling you received professional, friendly service and value for your hard earned dollar. Our standing as trusted mechanics Sandgate has been built over many decades and is very important to us and we aim to protect and enhance that reputation by exceeding your expectations. We know that being without your vehicle is inconvenient, so we offer some solutions. We know the ‘school pick up time' very well and always ensure the vehicle is ready by that time or in other cases, at the very least we return the vehicle to you on the same day. So if it is servicing (warranty, fleet), air-conditioning, safety certificates, auto-electrical, tyres or just general repairs you are in the market for, please contact us. Patrick Connolly was the founder of Connolly Motors in 1951. He was a tenacious character but was foremost a family man. His upbringing was always centred on a strong work ethic and a sense of resourcefulness that enabled him to master many skills.Pat was a dairy farmer, motor mechanic and motor dealer, beef cattle grazier and race horse breeder and trainer. He left a wonderful legacy for future generations to follow.
