Macks- servicing

Cooma for 120 years Established in the late 1890’s, John Mack Snr began business on Mack’s Corner (at the junction of the two highways, the Monaro and the Snowy Mountains) as Mack’s Commonwealth Store, servicing the Monaro for many years, until his youngest son, John Mack Jnr took control of the reigns. The family lived on the premises until 1956, when the devastating floods ravaged the low-lying levels of Cooma. Their home was damaged and the stock in Mack’s Commonwealth store was lost to the flood waters. The cleanup began, various renovations implemented, and Mack’s Corner was leased to a new owner who turned the building into ‘The Savoy Nightclub’ – one of seven nightclubs operating during the boom-town period of the Snowy Hydro construction During the late 1970’s, after trading in Vale Street for a number of years, John Mack Jnr relocated back to Mack’s Corner, re-opening Mack’s Auto and Tyre Centre.

Over 120 years later, John Richard Mack (aka Richard) is the third generation standing at the helm of Mack’s Corner. Trading as Mack’s Auto & Tyreplus Cooma, Richard and his team are confident of continuing the success of the previous generations, by serving the people of the Monaro with quality products and service.
