Small Motor Service, a Gladstone business institution with a rich history, has been a cornerstone in the local community since its inception. Established on Dawson Hwy, near the present-day Feed Barn Gladstone, the business took root in 1972. In a pivotal move, the original proprietors, Max and Coral Marxsen, acquired a plot of land at 75 Hanson Road, relocating Small Motor Service to the bustling Hanson Road Precinct.

​

Fast forward to 2001, when Maurice Paterson assumed ownership, ushering in an era marked by a commitment to quality products and exceptional service. Today, Small Motor Service stands as a testament to decades of dedication and reliability in meeting the diverse needs of its customers.

​

In October 2023, a new chapter began as the custodianship of this great establishment was entrusted to Jeff Zawila. Embracing the responsibility with enthusiasm, Jeff and his team are eager to uphold and build upon the legacy crafted by Max, Coral, and Maurice. Small Motor Service is not just a business; it's a commitment to the community, a legacy of trust, and a symbol of reliability.
