Joe Muller and Irma Muller started Muller & Muller in 1968. Joe opened their workshop in Lakemba, NSW originally working on Volkswagen’s and Audi’s. Throughout the years and generations, we now service all European makes and models.
Joe started working at the House of David in North Ryde and through his experience there, he opened his own shop. Today the heritage follows through with Michaela and Alfredo owning Müller & Müller Dural.
Joe Müller was one of a few who created a car that floated across the Sydney Harbour known as the ‘Sea Beetle’. Their aim was to make it watertight, the boatswagen was fitted with a propeller of 10 x 8 on a brass shaft which was passed through the bumper bar.
Adrian Müller who has over 40 years’ experience also followed in his father’s footsteps, becoming a mechanic at the age of 15. He worked alongside his father and mother within the family business and has passed on his passion and knowledge to the next generation of the family including us.
Müller & Müller Lakemba was the longest running VW agent in Australia. Joe Müller became an official VW dealer in 1968. Müller and Müller Lakemba closed in 2016 after the passing of both Joe and Irma.
In 2019 the workshop was reopened in Dural to keep the passion and tradition of a family owned and run mechanical business. Michaela Müller is the granddaughter of Irma and Joe Müller; she is a part of the third generation of the family tradition.
Her partner Alfredo Topazio has been a mechanic for 17 years and was trained at the IPSIA Alfredo Ferrari High School in Maranello, Italy. Alfredo is highly trained in super cars and all European makes and models.
Michaela and Alfredo decided to keep the tradition of Müller & Müller owned by a partnership as well as a family business as they follow in the footsteps of Michaela’s grandparents.
Adrian Muller, Stephen Muller, Julian Price-Jones and Jeremy Vant Spyker (all Australia) managed a time of 1 minute and 6 seconds for the fastest VW Engine Exchange on the set of Guinness World Records at Seven Network Studios, Sydney, NSW, Australia on the 27th of August 2005.
The pride and passion still remains in the family for racing and building cars today…
