Hands-on Car Maintenance Workshops
Most women get stressed at the thought of going to the mechanic. Not anymore! Our workshops will help you become auto savvy, get to know your car and save $ in repairs.
Established in 2007, we have taught over 100,000 Australians a year!
“At the ripe old age of 45 I decided I was sick of not knowing anything about my car, something I rely on everyday. Thank God I found Galmatic! I recommend it to anyone. Never feel powerless again!”
– Rebecca Huntley, Author
Workshops for all Ages
They are designed for women, parents and teenagers and run in a fun, friendly and non threatening environment.
You don’t need any special skills or knowledge and you can come alone or with some friends.
Our workshops were started in 2007 as ‘Women Only’ Workshops and after their huge success we have opened them up to be more inclusive.
In the Workshop
You will be immersed in practical skills from the get-go.
We dive in and get you under the bonnet checking the oil, coolant, fluids and battery and then on the ground changing a tyre in an intensive, interactive hands-on workshop.
We remove the fear of ‘Can I touch that?” and create a safe and fun environment where no question is too silly.
Fun Environment
We focus on ensuring you feel comfortable with exploring and questioning.
We start each workshop with some tips and important and essential information to keep you safe and saving $$.
Your trainer will walk you through everything on your own car!
The workshop is designed around what we call the ’10-minute servo check’, which is a monthly car check to ensure your car is running at its best, doesn’t break down and keeps you driving safely.
