Our Story
Volks Home was founded by John and Joy Goodison and commenced trading on 1 July 1988. At a time when Japanese manufacturers dominated the Australian automotive market and new Volkswagens were relatively uncommon, the business was established with a dedicated focus on servicing and maintaining Volkswagen vehicles.
The original workshop was located just 100 metres from our current premises, but the business quickly outgrew the small factory. In 1991, Volks Home moved to 16 Commercial Drive, before relocating to its current home at 10–12 Commercial Drive, Thomastown in 2015.

As the Volkswagen Group continued to grow in Australia, so did Volks Home. Audi and SEAT became increasingly popular throughout the 1990s, followed by Škoda joining the Volkswagen family in the early 2000s. Volks Home continued to expand its specialist knowledge, equipment and services to support these brands.
Experience Across Generations
Today, Volks Home can look after everything from a classic air-cooled Volkswagen to the latest Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT or Škoda.
With more than 60 years of combined experience, our team has an extensive understanding of Volkswagen Group vehicles across multiple generations. It’s not unusual to have a beautifully maintained classic VW in the workshop alongside a late-model vehicle receiving a logbook service, DSG transmission service or specialist repair.
That connection between the classic vehicles that helped establish Volks Home and the latest generation of Volkswagen Group vehicles remains an important part of who we are.
