Tim Rowse, Ken Rowse and Elijah Baker in the Rowse Motors workshop

About Rowse Motors

Three generations.
One workshop standard.

Over 60 years of combined experience, grounded in honest advice, careful workmanship and a genuine enthusiasm for vehicles.

Our family story

Built in Warragul since 1972.

Rowse Motors began as a local mechanical workshop and grew through a lifelong commitment to servicing, building and racing vehicles. Today Ken, Tim and Elijah work together, combining traditional mechanical knowledge with modern diagnostics, dyno equipment and current workshop technology.

Motorsport has always been part of the Rowse Motors story, but the same lessons apply to every customer vehicle: understand the job, do it properly and give straightforward advice before carrying out further work.
