Nobody knows performance like Walkinshaw!
Walkinshaw is a name synonymous with success both on and off the track.
The Walkinshaw name is well known for its association with Australia’s No.1 vehicle manufacturer Holden Special Vehicles, as well as V8 Supercar team Walkinshaw Andretti United.
The Walkinshaw name first came to prominence in Australia when Tom Walkinshaw first started racing his Factory Jaguar XJS at the Bathurst 1000 in 1984, followed by a three-vehicle assault on Mount Panorama in 1985.
This foray was the catalyst for a growing presence in the Australian automotive landscape, eventually seeing Walkinshaw becoming the engine room behind the iconic brands of the Holden Racing Team and Holden Special Vehicles.

Howell Automotive was established in 1990 by the late Rodney Howell. His ambition was to provide the automotive industry with high quality automotive repairs and service at an affordable price. This has evolved over many years into a strong brand name well known in the automotive industry. Move forward twenty years and Howell Automotive is still a family owned business and the "can do" attitude has seen huge success throughout the years. In 2015 and 2016 we were awarded the TACC Small Mechanical Repairer of the Year and in 2017 received the Large Mechanical Repairer of the Year Award. In 2018 our apprentice was awarded Apprentice of the Year. This is a fantastic effort for a small family business.
