Whitsunday Workshop Brings Big-City Service to European Car Owners

After relocating from Sydney, Mark Edgar and Anna Panton identified a gap in the local market and established Whitsunday European Prestige. They found no nearby services for European cars, and since they had run European Prestige successfully in Sydney for many years, they decided to bring their concept to their new location in 2016.

Whitsunday European Prestige specializes exclusively in European car brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Fiat, Peugeot, and Bentley. While the workshop is equipped to handle a variety of mechanical tasks, from Timing Belts to Air Conditioning, what truly distinguishes the company is its in-house capabilities and dealership-level technology.

Mark boasts over 40 years of experience in the automotive industry and is specifically trained in Land Rovers, Rolls-Royce, and Bentley. All mechanics at Whitsunday European Prestige are highly trained in specific car brands, ensuring they are well-versed in every vehicle's intricacies.

The business is focused on a niche market.

“We specialize in a niche market; we don’t overextend,” Anna stated.

“European cars are fundamentally different from Japanese vehicles, from the way you work on them to the diagnostics, computers, and technology involved.”

At Whitsunday European Prestige, you can expect scheduled car servicing through to advanced ECU (Engine Control Unit) programming using the latest a dealership-authorized system called Pass Thru, which allows the team to program and update vehicle computers as main dealers do in major cities.

Whitsunday European Prestige loves your European car as much as you.
