The director/owner/workshop manager of Automotive Instincts, Frank Scaturchio has been a mechanic for over 30 years.

In this time Frank has worked on a wide range of makes, models and eras of cars - he even spent the time building 2 of his own and hopes to build an American muscle car for the kids to work on on the weekends! Having worked in Thornbury for 5 years, the workshop moved to the current modern workshop in Reservoir in 2012. Frank's experience and knowledge surpasses him. At Automotive Instincts, our mechanics will take on any job, be it new or old, petrol, diesel or LPG, big or small - any car, just bring it in and we will help you get back on the road.
