From humble beginnings
It all started with family, which is why our customers continue to trust our humble workshop.

Delivering honest, high-quality servicing to our customers for decades.
At Modbury Motors, we're a family-owned workshop built on experience, trust, and long-standing relationships with our customers.

Our story began long before Modbury Motors opened its doors. For more than 20 years, husband-and-wife team John and Pina Rinaldi owned and operated a respected automotive workshop in Kensington Gardens, earning a reputation for honest advice, quality workmanship, and genuine customer service.

In 2017, they opened Modbury Motors, bringing the same customer-first approach to a new community and continuing the values that had guided their business for decades.

Today, the workshop is owned and operated by their son, Christopher. Having grown up around the trade and worked alongside his parents for many years, Chris continues to build on the reputation they've established. John remains part of the team, sharing his experience and expertise in the workshop, while the family values that shaped the business continue to guide everything we do.
