Neil McLean Automotives is a family business started in 1983 by Bev and Neil McLean in Midland, West Australia. Bev and Neil and their two daughters, Anita and Sarah, had emigrated the year before. It wasn't long before they had a reputation for solving difficult mechanical problems in Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motor cars.
At their workshop in Morrison Road they built the business up, it was a family affair with Neil working on the cars (with the assistance of Bev) and the girls helping with washing cars. (A service that Neil McLean Automotives still provides with a service at no charge).
