Empowering the Next Generation of Drivers: Galmatic Car Maintenance Workshops for Sydney Girl Guides

Are your Guides ready to take the wheel of their own independence? At Galmatic, we believe knowing your way around a car isn’t just a technical skill, it’s a real-life skill that builds confidence, problem-solving, and resilience.

Whether your unit is working towards a specific challenge or simply looking for a fun, hands-on activity that empowers young women, our Sydney-based car maintenance workshops are the perfect fit for Girl Guides Australia groups of all ages.

Hands-On, Practical, and Empowering

Our workshops are designed to be immersive and inclusive, ensuring every Guide gets their hands dirty (literally!).

We bring the cars, tools, and expertise directly to your meeting hall or local community space across Sydney, making it an easy addition to your term program.

What Happens in a Galmatic Workshop?

Our 90–120 minute sessions are capped at 16 participants per trainer to ensure everyone gets personalised attention and hands-on experience.

We dive straight under the bonnet and onto the ground to cover practical skills every future driver should know.

The Tyre Challenge

Guides learn how to safely change a tyre, whilst also understanding why tyre tread and pressure are so important for staying safe on the road.

Under the Bonnet

We check the oil, coolant, battery, and important fluids, teaching Guides what to look for and helping them feel more comfortable around cars.

The 10-Minute Servo Checklist

Simple, practical habits Guides can use every time they stop at the servo.

Real-Life Skills

Most importantly, we focus on helping Guides feel confident exploring, asking questions, and becoming more “road ready” in everyday life.

Perfect for Sydney Units

From the Northern Beaches to the Western Suburbs, we travel across Sydney bringing our retro-inspired, Rosie the Riveter-style education directly to your unit.

Our trainers combine humour, storytelling, and practical learning to make car care relatable, memorable, and genuinely fun.
