ABOUT US

Spannerman Autocare was built off the back of the original business, known as Kyle Auto Repairs founded by Mr Ron Kyle almost thirty years ago. After purchasing Kyle Auto Repairs, Peter and Sarah Miotto realised the opportunity to grow the business into a comprehensive autocare facility. It is this vision that gave birth to the new brand, Spannerman Autocare, launched in 2016.

Spannerman Autocare continues the strong tradition of its origins founded on the family values of integrity, trust and accountability. We aim to challenge the status quo of how mechanical workshops are operated and perceived. We believe in doing things right: taking care of our customers and the cars they drive.

THE TEAM

Spannerman Autocare has a small and dedicated team committed to excellence. We provide high quality customer service and superior workmanship ensuring we communicate with honesty, transparency and ease of understanding.


Peter (PJ) Miotto 

Owner / Director

Peter is a highly regarded and qualified mechanic. Aside from attaining his formal trade qualifications, he was schooled in mechanics by his much loved father, an Italian immigrant, who settled in Australia in the late 1950s establishing workshops in Gordonvale, North Queensland and in his later life, Dysart, Central Queensland. As a young boy and all throughout his adult years, Peter worked alongside his diesel fitter father and it was during this time that Peter was blooded in superior mechanical excellence. Peter continued to draw on his rich Italian automotive heritage as he broadened his experience in qualifying as a diesel fitter in 1997 and working across the Queensland and Papua New Guinean mining industries as well as the Queensland agricultural and marine industries. Though he travelled far, Peter always made his way back home to assist his father in the workshop, a much loved pastime enjoyed by both men until the passing of his father in 2012. Superior mechanical ability and going the extra mile for people weren’t the only attributes passed from father to son – the unmistakable dry humour with just a hint of cheek synonymous with Italian elders is alive and well in PJ!


Sarah Miotto

Owner / Director

Sarah wouldn’t call herself a car enthusiast. And mechanics is certainly not her forte. But, if she really thought about it, she could say that she not only digs her wheels but almost feels indebted to the loyal service of the family car. While Sarah performs the lead role in her family’s circus of raising her and PJ’s four daughters, the faithful old ‘cruiser is right there beside her. Always willing to forgive the mess of modern life, it’s also been privy to golden moments of childhood joy, family connections and parenting wins. Because of this, Sarah gets it. She gets the unlikely bond. And because she gets it, she makes sure Spannerman Autocare gets it too. She can do this because she not only understands what makes good businesses great; she is thoroughly passionate about it. Sarah grew up with business in her blood. From a young age, Sarah helped out in her own family’s enterprise founded in the 1960s, and it was during this time that she observed the opportunity of small business to enhance others’ lives. With a business degree under her belt, Sarah keenly takes on a strategic role, relentless in cracking the whip to ensure Spannerman Autocare does what it says it will do. Sarah personally drives its active membership of the Mackay Chamber of Commerce to not only develop the capacity of Spannerman Autocare but to champion the cause of local business and Mackay’s economy. And being married to Spannerman himself means that her mechanics is on the improve too, recently getting herself and the kids going again after leaving the fuel light stay on for perhaps a little too long!


James

James is a qualified mechanic after completing his Adult Apprenticeship under the watchful eye of Peter. He is deserving of extra kudos for completing his study before the scheduled time due to his capacity for learning and his unwavering dedication and reliability. James has been with the business for almost as long as Sarah and Peter after first commencing as a Tradesperson’s Assistant.  Believing in the philosophy of “hire character, train skill” Peter has mentored James, a willing student to become not only qualified but confident and competent in his trade and who is trusted implicitly to lead business operations when required. James works alongside Peter and is often on the front line in delivering quality service and excellent workmanship. Now that James is well on the way to mastering mechanics, he has his gaze firmly set on getting the channel on the radio changed!
