Your local automatic transmission specialists

M1 Automatics is a family run business which was established by Paul Vakranoff in November 2009.

a lifelong passion for cars

With a lifelong passion for cars, Paul began his mechanical career at the age of 15, back in 1988.

He bought his first car at 16; stripped it and rebuilt it - before he had his driver’s license.

Finding his niche doing one of the most complicated jobs in the automotive industry, Paul was rebuilding transmissions and managing a workshop, by the age of 17. He mastered rebuilding manual transmissions before moving onto automatic transmissions.

Paul’s philosophy in life is:

FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION

BEST QUALITY WORK FOR OUR CUSTOMERS

He gets great satisfaction on working on a car that gets towed in - but can be driven out.

M1 Automatics embraces this attitude and strives to provide the best quality work for our customers.

we’ve just moved into a new workshop

Exceeding expectations, Paul was told his first workshop was too big - yet we’ve just moved into a new workshop, which is double the size.

Continuing to work hard, Paul, Kym and our team have grown M1 Automatics into the trusted business it is today.
