Hands-on Car Maintenance Workshops
Most women get stressed at the thought of going to the mechanic. 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 own car, something I rely upon every single day. And so I thank the heavens I found Galmatic. They organised a perfect workshop for myself and 8 of my friends. It was fun and informative. I recommend it to anyone who wants to know the all-important basics about their car. You will never feel powerless again when it comes to your ride!”
Our workshops were started in 2007 as ‘Women Only’ Workshops and after their huge success we have opened them up to be more inclusive.
~ 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 2 hour workshops are not about fixing your car or being a mechanic, rather they are all about getting to know your car.
~ How to make sure it is working at its best, and going through the basics of car knowledge to leave you feeling confident and road ready.

What is a Galmatic Workshop all about?
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 focus on ensuring you feel comfortable with exploring and questioning. We remove the fear of “Can I touch that?” and create a safe and fun environment where no question is too silly to ask.
~ We start each workshop with some tips and important and essential information to keep you safe and saving $$ and then it is off to each participants car to help you to get to ‘Know Your Car’!
“Left the workshop feeling more confident and with handy tips on how not to get ripped off”
Hands-On Interactive Workshops
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.
Under the Bonnet
• What, when and how to check the engine to keep it running smoothly and safely
• What you can and can’t touch in the engine bay
• Learn how to check the oil and coolant, fluids, battery and hoses
Tyre Care
• How to care for tyres & check the pressure
• Hands-on experience changing a tyre
“I had a fab time! I feel that it was definite value for money and more! I learned so much more than I thought I would!”
