A passion for customer service

Auto Plus More is a privately owned independent service station and repair workshop located in Emerald, Victoria. With over 60 years of combined experience, the team at Auto Plus More is dedicated to providing excellent customer service that goes beyond expectations and is the proud recipient of the Emerald Rotary Club 2023 ‘Pride of Workmanship Award’. The company’s fully equipped workshop, extensive experience, and caring work environment enable it to work efficiently and cost-effectively for all its customers.

One of the things that sets Auto Plus More apart from other service stations and repair workshops is its commitment to honesty and open dealings with its customers. The team believes that building a base of repeat clientele through excellent service is more important than making a quick buck. As a result, Auto Plus More has built a large base of repeat clientele that values its honest approach to automotive repairs and servicing.

Auto Plus More has a rich family business history that dates back over 100 years in the Emerald region. Barney Hogan’s grandfather owned the Coffee Palace, and his father was a fuel distributor from 1945. In 2009, Barney bought back the service station where Auto Plus More stands today, which had been rebuilt after a fire in 1963.

Auto Plus More has evolved with the town and community changing its business model several times to keep it a viable business that caters to Emerald and surrounds needs. They have added a state-of-the-art dog wash, a new touch screen tap and go after hours prepay dispenser, as well as new fuel dispensers (pumps) with hi flow diesel at all stations. They now also have bulk firewood with the option of it being in M3 bulk bags which are fully covered for safe dry storage or can be supplied loose from our yard. Auto Plus More have two specialised trucks that can deliver the wood to meet the customers’ needs. They even sell or you can hire the Australian Famous Super Axe 3100 Log splitter

Also find a supply of quarry products available in bulk and small quantities. Road base and aggregate are available, as well as some soils and sands. If they haven’t got it in stock, they can always get it.

Auto Plus More is a company that values its customers above all else. With a commitment to honesty, excellent customer service, and a long family business history in the Emerald region, the team at Auto Plus More is dedicated to providing quality products and automotive repairs and servicing to its customers. Whether it’s repairs, servicing, tyres, or even a car or dog wash, Auto Plus More is the go-to service station and repair workshop in Emerald.
