It’s always rewarding when someone trusts you with their pride and joy. In this case, “The Toy”

Helping this customer meant they were able to minimise risk by allowing me to ‘come to them’ and perform the service in their environment. Which allows all consultation to occur in a completely transparent environment.

This lion is angry……

The numbers add up. A great little read, especially for any new truckers to the scene.

Completing a timing belt replacement on a Holden Colorado 2.8 Duramax.
Just a little snippet of the procedure.

Unfortunately, a small minority of the Australian people feel they need possession of a VF Holden more so than the owner.
This leads to unwanted thefts of the iconic last Aus built Commodore.

Unfortunately the design of this vehicle allows for easy access to disconnecting the horn, jimmying the drivers door open, connecting the right tool to the OBD to mislead the vehicle to thinking the key is present.

As a preventative measure, a horn relocation kit, and dummy port OBD connector is a great method to slowing the theft process, allowing the horn to draw prolonged attention.

Nice neat finish, with assurance for the customer.

The automotive industry is experiencing a significant period of change before our eyes. Electrification is becoming more predominant, more small business’s have opened compared to those closing down since the pandemic. Consumers are educating themselves more before making a new vehicle purchase.

However, curious to hear what you believe the automotive industry needs, or is lacking expertise in?
