Meet the subaru specialists for service and repair

At Subi Otaku Garage, we’re all about passion — for cars, for quality, and for people.

Founded by Chris, a long-time car enthusiast and dealership professional, our workshop in Geelong was created to offer something different: a space where customers come first, combustion engines get the respect and care they deserve, and a team of skilled technicians can do their best work with pride.

After spending years working in dealership environments, Chris saw both the strengths and the shortcomings of traditional service centres. While the technical expertise was there, the personal connection often wasn’t.

So he set out to build something new — a workshop that blends dealership-level quality with a friendly, transparent, and customer-driven experience. A place where Subaru owners (and car lovers in general) could feel confident, respected and heard.
And that’s how Subi Otaku Garage was born.

“Otaku” is a Japanese word that describes someone deeply devoted to their passion — and that’s exactly what drives us.

Our passion for Subaru runs deep, and we channel that enthusiasm into everything we do — from precise log book servicing to thoughtful performance upgrades and diagnostics.

We believe every car tells a story, and every owner deserves to be part of it.
That’s why we focus on three core values:

  • Quality Craftsmanship: Every service is carried out by qualified technicians who share Chris’s commitment to excellence.
  • Customer Connection: We take the time to explain, advise and ensure you understand every aspect of your car’s care.
  • Passion & Respect: Whether it’s an everyday Outback or a weekend WRX project, we treat every Subaru like it’s our own.

At Subi Otaku Garage, we’re not just fixing cars — we’re keeping the spirit of internal combustion alive and well, one Subaru at a time.

Chris has spent many years working within dealership networks, learning the ins and outs of automotive service, customer experience and workshop operations. But his true calling was always to create something more personal — a place that celebrates car culture, precision and people equally.

His deep understanding of the automotive world and genuine love for Subaru performance and engineering shape everything we do.

He’s built a team of highly skilled, like-minded technicians who share his values: honesty, attention to detail and a drive to always go the extra mile.

“Subi Otaku Garage is more than a workshop — it’s a place for people who love their cars and want them treated with care. Our team is here to make sure you and your Subaru always feel looked after.
