Our History
A Launceston Institution Since 1983
Challenge Motors Service Centre was founded in 1983 by Gary Luttrell — already a 12-year veteran of the automotive repair industry when he opened the workshop doors on Bathurst Street.
From a single bay to a fully-equipped workshop, Gary built the business on a simple promise: honest advice, quality workmanship and a personal relationship with every customer who walks through the door.
Today, more than four decades later, that promise hasn’t changed with Gary’s son Kurt, and daughter Carly now managing the workshop, keeping the family tradition alive.
