How the studio got its name

Racheal worked in the motor industry and wanted to be a motorbike mechanic when she left school at 16, but no such course existed in Ireland. She found a training course to work in a garage. She learned how to weld, spray paint, do car mechanics, and repair cars. During the training course, she was given a project to rebuild a motorbike (Kawasaki ZX6) from a road bike to a racetrack bike. She learned how to repair and spray paint the petrol tank, bike panels, and more! After some work experience, she went on to become a panel beater with Toyota Ireland, working and passing exams while pregnant with her son, and she became fully qualified in the trade. Racheal has worked in many local garages and dealerships here in Galway city.
Today, her studio, Pole Garage Ireland, is a representation of her dedication and hard work. And a vision that anything is possible if you put your mind to it, once you believe in yourself.
