❄️ 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲, 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗲.

The first day of winter has delivered a pretty beautiful sky over Gleadow Street — but it’s also a timely reminder that winter roads need a little extra care.

Wet roads, darker mornings, fog, frost and poor visibility all make your vehicle’s condition even more important.

At Kate Presnell Bodyworks, we can help keep your car safe, roadworthy and ready for the colder months with:

🚗 New tyres for better grip in wet conditions
🚗 Wheel alignments to help your vehicle handle properly
🚗 Windscreen replacement and repairs for clear visibility
🚗 Air conditioning checks — especially if your windscreen won’t demist properly
🚗 Body repairs to help keep your vehicle structure safe and intact
🚗 Replacement of old or perished moulds and seals to help keep your car waterproof
🚗 Safety-focused repairs carried out with your family in mind

A little winter tip: if your windscreen is constantly fogging up or won’t demist properly, your air conditioning may not be working as it should. Your AC doesn’t just keep you cool in summer — it helps remove moisture from the air so you can see clearly in winter too.

If your vehicle needs tyres, an alignment, windscreen work, an AC check, body repairs, or you’ve noticed leaks, damaged seals or panels that need attention, our friendly team can help!

Stay safe on the roads this winter ❄️

🌟 Thank you, Jennifer, for taking the time to share this.

🌟 Friendly service, efficient workmanship and helping customers feel looked after from the first call really matters to us.

🌟 We are so glad our team could diagnose the issue quickly and provide the quality you were hoping for.

“I have never regretted showing up for myself.

Even on the days where the earlier alarm feels very easy to ignore, I have never walked out thinking, ‘I wish I didn’t do that.’

I walk out lighter.
Clearer.
Happier.
More energised.
More capable.

And as a business owner, that matters more than I realised.

I have always known mindset is everything. In business, it affects the way you lead, the decisions you make, the way you communicate, and how you handle pressure.

But I had never really found exercise to give me that shift before.

That part is new.

And honestly, I think that is the difference in the culture at

After trying other gyms, this is the first place where I have genuinely felt like there is a journey for everyone. You do not have to walk in looking a certain way. You do not have to be the fittest, slimmest, most confident person in the room.

You just get to be you, working on you.

That is a really powerful environment to be in.

A big thank you to the whole M+A family, especially Henry, my PT, who is young but carries himself with a level of wisdom and emotional maturity that is incredibly rare.

Having worked in male-dominated industries for over 15 years, I do not say that lightly. It is genuinely refreshing to be supported by a young man who is so grounded, respectful and encouraging.

This has been one of the most positive things I have done for myself — not just physically, but mentally.

And that mindset follows me back into my business, my leadership, my family, and the way I show up in the world.”

Good apprentices don’t just happen.

They need support, guidance and the right people around them.

Our apprentice buddy system helps give apprentices a go-to person from day one — someone to learn beside, ask questions of and build confidence with.

Because growing great tradespeople starts with strong support.

Why do we use OEM / genuine parts?
Because not all parts are created equal.

At Kate Presnell Bodyworks, we use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) / genuine parts wherever possible because they are designed specifically for your vehicle.

That means:

better fit
better alignment
better safety
better repair quality

Your vehicle was built with specific parts for a reason. Using the right parts helps us repair it the way it was intended to be repaired, not just make it “look okay” again.

Cheaper alternatives can sometimes create issues with fit, finish, durability, and even the performance of safety systems.

We believe your repair should be done properly — with quality, care, and the right parts.

That’s part of being deliberately different.

🔦 TEAM SPOTLIGHT | BRAD

This one is a special one.

Brad has been part of Presnell Bodyworks for around 26 years, and that kind of loyalty, knowledge and commitment is not something we ever take for granted.

Over the years, Brad has built an incredible depth of automotive expertise and has played a big part in the quality and care our business is known for today. He is a natural problem solver, highly skilled in his craft, and someone who genuinely wants the best outcome for every customer who trusts us with their vehicle.

What stands out just as much as Brad’s technical ability is who he is as a person.

He is grounded, genuine, and deeply cares about the quality of his work and the people around him. He takes pride in doing things properly, supports his team, and shares his knowledge generously, which makes him a valued trainer and mentor within our business.

Brad’s contribution to Presnell Bodyworks over the past 26 years has been significant, and we are incredibly thankful for everything he brings to our team.

Thank you, Brad, for your loyalty, your care, your knowledge, and the steady way you show up for our team and our customers.

🚗 Sometimes we know straight away that a vehicle is likely to be a total loss.

🔍 Other times, it takes a thorough inspection and a comprehensive estimate to understand whether repairing it is actually cost effective.

💥 A vehicle can look repairable on the surface, but once the full extent of damage, parts pricing, repair requirements and feasibility are properly reviewed, the outcome may be very different.

🧾 That is why proper inspections matter.

⚖️ Not every damaged vehicle will be written off, but sometimes that is the result once the full picture is clear.
