We've Been Playing With Cars Since 1988

Engine Master Australia’s story began in 1988, when Albury Speed & Performance was established as a dedicated speed shop.

From the outset, the business specialised in supplying performance parts and assembling engines for street, off-road and marine applications. It was built around practical knowledge, personal service and a genuine enthusiasm for helping customers get their projects moving.

By 1991, growing demand for rebuilt engines led to investment in an in-house machine shop. Bringing machining into the business provided greater control over quality, pricing and after-sales service, helping build a strong reputation among manufacturers, dealerships and individual customers.

Around the same time, Ski Power Marine became part of the business and strengthened its position in the marine sector.

In 1993, the engine range expanded again through the direct sourcing of new engines from the United States. Although the initial focus was marine customers, nationwide advertising soon connected the business with hot rod, off-road, agricultural and general performance applications across Australia.

Continued growth led to a move into larger premises in Drome Street in 1999, providing more room for stock, engine work and the customers the business was serving.

A major milestone arrived in 2005 when Albury Speed & Performance officially became Engine Master Australia.

That same year, the business was appointed the Australian dealer for Pleasurecraft Marine Engines. The new name reflected how far the operation had grown from its speed-shop beginnings into a broader performance and marine engine business supplying customers throughout Australia.

In 2010, Engine Master Australia relocated to its current Fallon Street facility within one of Albury’s modern airport industrial estates.

The move created the space and infrastructure required to support expanding stock, workshop operations and a growing Australia-wide customer base. It also placed Engine Master within a developing automotive precinct that would continue attracting specialist businesses and enthusiasts.

In 2023, Engine Master Australia launched a new website, making its expanding product range and technical knowledge easier for customers around the country to access.

The way people researched, planned and purchased parts had changed dramatically since the original speed-shop days. Engine Master continued to adapt, combining the reach of a modern online store with the practical support and industry knowledge of a real Australian performance business.

As the online catalogue and knowledge base continued to grow, so did the ability to help customers building street cars, race cars, hot rods, off-road vehicles, boats and countless workshop projects throughout Australia.

Today, Engine Master Australia continues to grow as both a performance-parts supplier and an active member of the automotive community.

The team attends and supports car shows locally, nationally and internationally, staying connected to the people behind the builds while searching for worthwhile products and ideas to bring back to the Australian market.

Engine Master remains proudly connected to local and family-owned businesses. The Fallon Street complex has developed into something of a motorsport mecca, alongside automotive specialists including LS Tuning & Performance, Killaboost Manifolds, Gordomotive Auto Electrical and Irvings Auto Spa.

At heart, it is still a family-oriented business supported by knowledgeable people who genuinely care about the automotive and marine industries. Whether a customer is building, restoring, upgrading or maintaining, the goal remains the same: supply quality products, provide honest support and help power the next project.

And yes, rescued cats are part of the Engine Master family too. Visitors may occasionally meet one of the furry staff members supervising the front counter.
