Powerhouse Auto Electrical and Mechanical Repairs were named ‘Most Outstanding Automotive Service’ and ‘Business of the Year’ for 2021 at the Blacktown Local Business Awards.
The awards night was held on the March 14 this year at the Blacktown Workers Club, where the business went up against other businesses in the automotive trade in the Blacktown City council.
“We just want to say we are truly blessed to have the customers and support that we do, we do owe it all to you guys, so we truly thank you all!” the business wrote on their Facebook page.
“We want to thank our team here at Powerhouse for putting in the effort every single day to strive for these results!”
“What an accomplishment and an honour!!”
Powerhouse Auto Electrical was established in 2014. It started from the ground up by Denis Panagopoulos and has been run mainly by his two sons, Christos, 28 and Arthur, 25 in the last two years.
Christos’ experience in being a qualified Auto Electrician and Mechanic benefits the technical side of the business, while Arthur works alongside his brother having finished his Bachelor’s in Business and Commerce three years ago.
“In the last two years the business has mainly been run by my two sons, which as a dad makes me very proud seeing the younger generation strive to be successful,” Denis says.
In the last four years, the business has been recognised in the top 10 of Australia’s small businesses in the automotive industry.
During this time, Denis says, the business has grown to where it is today. They have expanded into all electrical and mechanical repairs, fleet maintenance which includes heavy vehicles, full restorations, fabrications, and engine conversions.
