Friday is for funky shirts! 👕🙌🏻

Our new Friday attire is part of a powerful initiative to promote mental health awareness in the automotive industry. It’s a simple way to spark conversation and break the stigma.

🚘 Supported by Motor Trades Association of Queensland - MTAQ & Car Craft Accident Repair Centres, the campaigns powerful message ‘Don’t Shut the Bonnet on It’ is reminder that mental health is just as important as physical safety, encouraging us to check in on our mates, and speak up during the tough times.

✅ Each shirt purchased includes a donation to support TIACS (This is a conversation starter), a free professional counselling service supporting Australia’s blue collar community.

☕️ To keep the conversation going, every second Friday at Holmes we offer a free coffee van for our team, an open invitation to step away from the tools, grab a coffee, and have a chat. Because even five minutes of connection can make a big difference.

Let’s keep the bonnet open, and keep the conversation going!
