18-24 May is National Volunteer Week. It’s an annual celebration to recognise the vital contributions of volunteers and highlights the importance of giving back.

This week we thank and proudly acknowledge one of our own - Camp Quality has recognised Tim as their TAS Gillard Volunteer of the Year and we couldn’t be more thrilled. This acknowledgment is very well deserved ✨👏

Thank you Tim, for your dedication to supporting our community 🥰

Beyond his regular volunteer work with Camp Quality, Tim is also a regular blood donor, has been involved with Rotary and countless other organisations.

Make sure you give Tim a high-five next time you’re in the workshop. 😁🤝🎉

Citroën DS in this week.

Introduced in 1955, they were so far ahead of their time with hydropneumatic suspension, self-levelling ride height, and front disc brakes before most cars had even caught up.🇫🇷

In the workshop recently: The 1968 Chevrolet Corvette - While the V8 delivers the unmistakable American rumble, it’s the fibreglass construction that set it apart. Less weight, sharper lines and a presence that still feels futuristic almost 60 years later.

Meet Jake 👨‍🔧 — That look on his face? Check out the state of those two filters he’s holding. They work harder than you think

🛠 Engine Air Filter
Feed clean air into your engine. When it’s fresh, your car breathes properly - improving fuel efficiency, performance, and protecting internal components from dust and debris. When it’s clogged? Expect reduced power and higher fuel use.

🌬 Cabin Air Filter
This is the one you breathe through. It filters dust, pollen, pollution and bacteria before the air reaches your vents. A dirty cabin filter can mean musty smells, weak airflow, and more allergens circulating inside your car.

You can see the difference immediately on the two filters he’s removed and what he’s about to replace them with.
Clean pleats = clean air. Dark, clogged pleats = you’ve been breathing that 🤢

Jake’s rule?
If it can’t breathe properly, neither can you.

Book your next service and we’ll make sure both you and your engine are breathing fresh. 💨

Beer emergency over! Turns out the real MVPs don't wear capes, they fix the beer truck and make it run a bit smoother for our friends at the Cascade Brewery Bar and Cascade Brewery Co🍺
