SERVICING CARS FOR OVER 100 YEARS!

A Family Legacy of Honest, Reliable Car Care

For over three generations, the Carnemolla family has serviced the Drummoyne, Abbotsford, Chiswick, Five Dock and Russell Lea communities — a legacy that began in the early 1900s when Frank Carnemolla (Snr) completed his apprenticeship and opened a small petrol and mechanical workshop.

The industry was very different back then, but one thing has always stayed the same:

a commitment to honest work, quality service, and looking after locals like family.

Growing With the Community

Across the decades, the Carnemolla family operated service stations and workshops throughout the area, including the well-known BP Service Station on Lyons Road. As the community grew, so did the business — adapting to new technology, new vehicles, and the evolving needs of local drivers.

Today, 313 Automotive continues that tradition with a fully equipped modern workshop specialising in servicing, repairs, advanced diagnostics, and electrical work for all makes and models, petrol and diesel.
