Hear from the team:

Hunter Tapping (Toowoomba) HVIA Apprentice of the Year 2022
"I love the wide range of jobs in the workshop, whether it be a clutch, transmission or engine rebuild, there is always something different and always plenty to learn. I also enjoy participating in the on-call after-hours breakdown roster, where I can be called out at night to attend a broken-down truck to keep customers happy and freight moving.”
