  • Driving controls for disabled drivers

    Left foot accelerator assemblies and hand control devices, fitted and set up to the driver.

    Roof mounted wheelchair lifters, and wheelchair hoists fitted inside the vehicle.

    “Best Mechanics in Bundaberg and Honest! They had what turned out to be a tough repair and no parts in town. They spent many more hours on my Vehicle than what they charged me. Thanks to Josh and crew.”

    “Duane, Josh and the boys have done a ton of work on my old 2.8 turbo diesel GQ Patrol over the years, including a complete engine rebuild. I wouldn't take my old rig anywhere else. They do great work at a reasonable price.”

    “Called in while on a road trip to get the team to have a look at doing a quick repair on my Solar Set Up on my Landcruiser. They were absolutely smashed for work and on smoko, yet still took the time to do a simple fix and got us on our way in as little time as possible.”
