How long has your business been operating?

43 Years.

What sets your business apart from your competitors?

We are a full-service workshop, offering services including engine machining, assembly and removal/fitting. This approach saves our customers money and simplifies the process. All work is done in house and is not subbed out. In an ever-shrinking industry we have expanded our operations and invested over $200,000 in new equipment to help meet the demand of our growing customer base.

Do you utilise innovation or technology in your workplace?

We utilise a fully computerised job allocation and quality control system so our staff can work efficiently whilst maintaining the high standards our customers have come to expect of us. We also have at our disposal all the latest in scan tool and diagnostic software, as well as a state-of-the-art, 400-litre ultrasonic cleaning machine for everything from inlet manifolds and EGR valves, to cylinder head and engine block cleaning.

Do you have ways of supporting your community?

During our 40-plus years in the industry, we have put through more than 20 apprentices who have gone on to have successful careers, as well as taken on school-based kids for work experience. Last year, we sponsored a car in the Mystery Box Rally which supports and raises funds for the Cancer Council.

Our sponsorship helped raise over $3500 to go towards support services and research for people affected by cancer.

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

We are very proud to have been in the industry for over 40 years as a family-owned and operated business and have maintained and exceeded our expectations whilst building a formidable reputation. During our 40 years we have evolved from cylinder head specialists to a fully equipped engine reconditioning workshop, also offering a complete fitting and diagnostic service.
