What a week for Collie Auto-Tech ๐
Peter and I had the opportunity to attend the Australian Automotive Aftermarket and Collision Expo โ our first time, and it certainly wonโt be our last.
As business owners, it was an incredible experience to step away from the day-to-day and fully immerse ourselves in the future of our industry. From global exhibitors in both automotive and collision, to hands-on workshops, business seminars, and industry events โ it was a valuable few days of learning, connecting, and reflecting.
We were also proud to attend the Repco Authorised Service meeting, where the focus was on future-proofing our businesses and continuing to raise the standard across the network.
A standout moment was the Automotive Womenโs event โ being surrounded by strong, passionate women in the industry was both inspiring and empowering.
Our key takeaways:
โข The automotive industry is evolving โ and we need to evolve with it
โข Every business has a life cycle โ understanding where you are is key to growth
โข The people you surround yourself with matter

Weโre incredibly grateful to be part of the Repco family and to bring this knowledge back to our community here in Collie.
Special thanks to our team for holding the for down the fort.
Excited for whatโs ahead โ and as always, enjoying the ride.
