We have a favourite. No prizes for guessing who. πŸ˜‰

Our CEO, Colette Kirby, is one of four finalists for the 2026 Barbara Cox Woman of the Year Award, and we're pretty proud of her! πŸ™Œ

She's in some seriously impressive company, too. Monica Monteleone, Katherine Anderson and Caitlyn Hayes each have quite a story to tell, and they're well worth a read in the post below.

The winner will be announced at the Women in Automotive luncheon this Friday, 16 October.

We'll be cheering for Colette. But with four women like this in the running, we wouldn't want the judges' job!

Good luck to all four finalists! πŸ‘

πŸ”§ Ever tried clearing fault codes on a newer VW and hit a roadblock? That's the Secure Gateway dilemma!

At the Adrad conferences in Sydney, this was the hot topic. For newer VW Group cars, what's locked can vary; sometimes it's those pesky fault codes or even putting the electronic park brake into service mode mid-repair.

The car itself isn’t broken; it just won’t listen to an unlicensed tool. As more cars exit warranty and enter independent workshops, this issue is becoming more common.

Enter the Thinkcar Global ThinkTool Expert 394! It sorts things by manufacturer. VW Group, Jeep, and Ram get a 12-month unlimited licence. Renault uses tokens per VIN, while Mercedes is a breeze.

Curious about what your workshop needs? Let us know which vehicle makes you handle most, and we'll guide you on the licences required!

Big thanks to the ADRAD team for the photos. πŸ“Έ

Apparently speed dating works for diagnostic tools too. πŸš—

Matt from our sales team spent today at the ADRAD Sales Conference in Sydney, where a new group of branch managers and sales staff swapped onto the Logicar table every few minutes. With that little time, he skipped the spec sheet and put the Thinkcar Global Expert 394 straight to work.

No long presentation. No stack of brochures.

Just the tool running on the table, questions coming thick and fast, and everyone seeing for themselves what it actually does.

Turns out five minutes is plenty when the tool does the talking.

Thanks to the ADRAD team for the photos! πŸ“Έ

If you had five minutes with Matt and the Expert 394, what would you want to know? πŸ€”

The forklift earned its keep this week. πŸ’ͺ

Another full container of Heshbon two post hoists has landed at Logicar HQ. They're unloaded, stacked and ready to ship.

Two models on the floor:
πŸ”΅ HL-26K. Four tonne, for cars and SUVs.
πŸ”΅ HL-27M. Six tonne, built for the tray.

Not sure which one suits your bay? Don't guess. Tell us your slab, your power, your ceiling height and what you work on, and we'll tell you which one fits. πŸ“

Every quote comes with an installer list, and someone actually answers the phone.

Ever found yourself stuck because of cash flow? πŸ€”

You've picked the perfect hoist, done the sums, and know it's right for your bay. But timing the payment can be a hurdle. Cash flow shouldn't hold you back from what you need!

Here's the good news: Logicar is a Capricorn Society Preferred Supplier, and Capricorn describes GO3 as spreading a qualifying equipment purchase across three equal monthly payments, with no interest. Capricorn handles the approval, the contract and the payments. We provide the hoist. πŸ™Œ

Explore the Heshbon range, which Logicar distributes exclusively in Australia. From a two post for busy bays to a four post for the heavy jobs, there is one to suit your workshop.

Before you decide, let's chat about your bay specs, including slab, ceiling height and bay width. We want to make sure you get the right fit.

Call us on 1300 322 782 or email [email protected].

QUESTION: What job have you turned away the most this year? Share in the comments!

Ever measured a bay after the hoist turned up, rather than before? 😬

We had about 22 installers at Logicar HQ last week, two days on the Heshbon range with Frank from Heshbon's international team, a Heshbon engineer in from Korea, and our own Tim Fisher running the show. Mostly the HL26, with the tyre and wheel gear getting a proper go too.

The bit we'd hand to any workshop is simple. The hoist arrives as a fixed spec. Your bay doesn't. So before you call, know what you're lifting, how high the ceiling is, where the power sits and what you know about your slab. πŸ”§

Sort that and install day is just install day.

Photos from the two days: https://f.mtr.cool/xef0rm0kan

Thinking about a hoist? Give us a call on 1300 322 782 and we'll talk it through before anyone quotes you.
