A Bit of Our History

People often ask, “Why the name “Get-About Auto”?

In the fall of 1993 Carl registered a part-time business offering automotive services. Over the years of working for large Dealerships he always had people coming to him and wanting work done “on the side”. To meet this need he worked evenings and week-ends. Given that he travelled to the customers’ residence we came up with a name that depicts mobile service in “Get-About”.

As time went on he became busier and busier and was unable to meet the needs of his customer base. So, in the fall of 1997 we set up shop in the city of Winnipeg being that over 90% of our customer base was in the city. After having to relocate over the years due to rental agreements, in 2008 we were able to purchase our current building. After taking 3 months to complete a total renovation we opened the doors in April of 2008, and like they say “the rest is history”.

Over the years we have found that honesty and a willingness to keep our customers informed about their vehicles has been the cornerstone of what we do best. The best that we can do is give the customer the information they need to make informed decisions about what their vehicle requires and how best to go about maintaining that vehicle. In the end we all want the same thing, a safe and comfortable ride at a fair price!
