ABOUT.

Our purpose

To keep cars and people safe on our roads and to protect our shared environmental future. We strive for the right outcomes for each unique private and business customer, delivering great communications, honesty, openness and high-quality work.

A Local Business for our Local Community

We typically look after vehicles from our local area, including but not limited to, North Melbourne, West Melbourne, Kensington, Yarraville, Seddon, Carlton, Travencore, and Flemington.

Our premises are close to Melbourne CBD and well served by Public Transport.

We are located very close to Macaulay Train Station, as well as a tram stop only a two-minute walk away that takes you into the city. This provides easy access for city workers who wish to drop off and pick up their vehicles on their way to/from work.

Owned and Operated by Chris Peile

Chris acquired MNSC in 2018 and looks after the day-to-day operations. Not your typical workshop owner, Chris has a career spanning Mechanical Engineering, Consulting (within the engineering, asset management, retail and logistics sectors), and Investment Banking. His passion is not just the vehicles, but for making sure that vehicles on our road are safe, and that customers get a great outcome.

Chris came up in a car family. His father (David) raced a Lotus Elan and was a significant part of the racing community.

Chris also completed a ground-up mechanical restoration of a 1958 Austin Healey which remains as the family ‘fun’ car.

He has driven in a number of Formula 1 Driver parades. The highlight was driving Kimi Raikonnen around the track immediately before a race.

If we can be of any help, even just to cover off a question that is on your mind, don’t hesitate to call.

Keeping Cars and People Safe

Always doing a high quality and detailed safety check of the vehicles we service.

Keeping an eye out for safety related items even if we are just doing a simple job on your car.

Making sure the often simply missed items (e.g. seatbelts functioning, airbag recall done) are checked.

Facing into everything we identify, and making sure our customers get a plain english explanation of what they are and why they are important.

Protect our Shared Environmental Future

Ensuring the vehicles serviced by us run cleanly and efficiently.

Maximising the life of vehicles (there is an enormous amount of energy within every car, so by making them last longer we create less new ones).

Correctly recycling our waste products, including oils/fluids and tyres. We are accredited with Tyre Sterwardship Australia which ensures our waste tyres are recycled.

Supporting the transition to Electric Vehicles. We are trained in EV maintenance.

We have partnered with Michelin as they currently produce, in our opinion, the best overall range of tyres with great longevity, performance and safety. This enables our customers access to a world class tyre and the Michelin specific promotions and warranty.

We are a VACC Authorised Automobile Repairer and Tyre Dealer. Our association with the VACC allows us to stamp vehicle manufacturers log books without voiding your new car warranty. This provides confidence for our customers that we have had 3rd party audits and are assessed as suitable for acceditation.
