How long has your business been operating?

23 years.

What sets your business apart from your competitors?

We are an approved inspection station for Certificates of Inspection, Measure Ups and Defect Notices. We have a brake roller tester in line with Queensland Transport. We have a well-equipped workshop with a drive-through service bay for large vehicles and B Double trailers, and have service pits and an overhead crane. All our mechanics are trade qualified and five are approved examiners. We can help with anything from a truck service to a full engine rebuild.

Do you utilise innovation or technology in your workplace?

As all new trucks now are electronic, we utilise the latest diagnostic tools to download fault codes and diagnose problems. A mechanical workshop would not be able to operate properly these days without this technology and at Progress Heavy Vehicle Repair we continually strive to keep up with the latest innovations.

Do you have ways of supporting your community?

We are always happy to support the community whether it be by supporting local schools by giving opportunities to work experience students in or by sponsoring local charities. We have, on a few occasions, sponsored our customers while doing the Variety Bash or other fundraising events.

Do you have any business achievements (or people) you are particularly proud of and why?

We are very proud of our business. Our staff have great knowledge and are an asset to the company and we have been servicing our loyal customers for 23 years now. Many of them are return customers, while a lot of new customers come to us via word of mouth. This is an achievement for us to be proud of.
