🔧 Happy Funky Friday, legends.

You can diagnose a misfire from 50 metres away, quote torque specs in your sleep, and somehow MacGyver a repair with gaffer tape and pure stubbornness, but when someone asks “how are you actually going?” you say “yeah, nah, all good” and change the subject faster than a burnt clutch.

We see you. You who’s been running on Red Bull and resentment for six months. You who’s quietly carrying stuff that’s heavier than a diff housing. You who laughs it off because that’s what you do.

Here’s the thing , the toughest blokes and sheilas on the tools are often the ones holding the most in. And mate, even a Kenworth T909 needs a service.

So, this Friday, we’re putting it out there:

📞 TIACS (This Is A Conversation Starter)
Free text and call service for tradies and blue-collar workers
0488 846 988 — call or text, no hard hat required

📞 Beyond Blue
24/7, no judgment, no referral needed
1300 22 4636

📞 Lifeline
Crisis Support 24/7
13 11 14

You don’t have to be in crisis to call. You just have to be human, which, last we checked, still applies even under 3 layers of grease. 💛

Mechanics’ cars aren’t exempt from breaking down unfortunately… and this week our apprentices are proving it 😂

We’ve now had THREE apprentice cars die on us, with TWO breaking down on the SAME day. At this point we’re not sure if we run a workshop or a roadside assistance service.
The boys do like to play with glitter… it just turns out their glitter is made of metal and costs a whole lot more 💸✨
This fuel filter bowl is looking less “routine service” and more “congratulations, you’ve bought yourself a fuel pump.”
Might be time to swap the staff parking lot for a bike rack 🚲

Earlier this month we celebrated the birthday of our resident poster boy, Jack 🎉
Always camera-ready, never camera-shy, and somehow still managing to look productive every time someone yells “quick photo!” 📸
That suspicious little smirk usually means someone’s about to get stitched up… but he’s great for morale, always jumps in for the socials, and keeps the laughs rolling, so management has agreed to keep him around 😂
We’re still not entirely sure if he works here or is just here for the media appearances… either way, cheers to Jack for keeping morale high and the photo library full 🍻 We hope you had a great birthday!

Happy Funky Friday legends 🤘💙🧡
One apprentice saw the camera and clocked straight off into influencer mode 👍😂
The other carried on working like the workshop manager was timing him with a stopwatch 👀🛠️
So, the real question is…
👉 Working hard or hardly working?
Life can be bloody hard sometimes. Work gets busy, stress creeps in, and everyone’s carrying something you can’t always see.
So don’t forget to find the laughs where you can, enjoy the little moments, and check in on your mates ❤️
Have a laugh. Take the p**s. Share the load.
And remember, mental health matters.
If you’re doing it tough, reach out. There’s always someone ready to listen:
📞 Lifeline: 13 11 14
📞 TIACS (Tradies & Blue Collar Counselling): 0488 846 988
📞 Beyond Blue: 1300 22 4636
Look after yourselves and each other 🍻🛠️

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
We will remember them
Lest we forget

✨ Funky Friday Check-In ✨
Feels like life’s been a bit heavy for everyone lately.
Some days just hit harder than others, and when you’re in the thick of it, it can feel like a lot to carry. But it won’t stay that way forever, even if it feels like it right now.
You don’t have to do it solo 🤝
Lean on your mates. Have the chat. Check in with each other.
As a business, we’ve got your back. Your wellbeing matters, and there’s always someone here to listen.
If you need a bit of extra support, there are some great services out there:
📞 TIACS (This Is A Conversation Starter) — the mental health counselling service you tell your mates about.
Call or text: 0488 846 988 (Mon–Fri, 8am–10pm AEST)
📞 Lifeline – 13 11 14
📞 Beyond Blue – 1300 22 4636
No matter what’s going on, you’re not alone in it.
Also… I asked the crew for some photos this week and this is what I got….safe to say they understood the assignment 😂📸
Look after yourselves and each other this weekend 💛

A scenic drive in the country is a great way to spend a Friday afternoon.

Happy Birthday to our newest apprentice, Harley 🎉
He might be young and still finding his feet in the trade, but he shows up every day with enthusiasm, a great attitude, and a willingness to learn, and that’s what really counts.
We’re proud to have you on the team, mate. Keep showing up, keep putting in the effort, and the rest will come.
Enjoy this lap around the sun! Have a great day, Harley! 🥳💪
