When motor vehicle owners look to find motor traders to look after their cars they look for people they know have extensive history and knowledge which means they can be trusted to look after their valued vehicles.
With MTA ACT member N & D Auto Services that’s exactly what motor vehicles owners get – someone they can trust.
Owner and Managing Director Niall Robb has been in the industry for over forty years.
Niall started his apprenticeship in 1968 with a Ford Dealership in Canberra and completed training with a Nissan Dealership. He has worked across the full range of automotive services being a mechanic, a leading hand and foreman in dealerships and in service stations and of course running his own mechanical business.
Niall spent 15 years working in the transport industry with heavy vehicles but returned to the mechanical trade prior to purchasing this business in 2002. Niall and the staff continue to attend Auto trade workshops to ensure they are trained in the latest techniques.
N & D’s four fully qualified mechanics and adult apprentice have backgrounds across the range of mechanical services in places from as far away as Zimbabwe and Wales. Between Niall, foreman Colin Cumberland and N & D’s qualified mechanics and apprentice, there is over 100 years’ experience and expertise in the business.
Niall and his wife Dorothy are long-standing Canberra residents, having lived in the Territory since the early 70s. They bought the business from the previous owner (Colin Ogilvie) in 2002. Niall is keen to provide ACT residents with good quality workmanship at a competitive price. He believes in ethical, fair, courteous and honest relationships with his customers, suppliers and staff.
