ANAGER VITO MAROLDA
describes it as an ‘ever-
evolving shop’ and walked us through the im- provements. There’s been a brand new Car-o-liner bench rack in- stalled and a speed bench both flush mounted into the concrete as well as two scissor lift hoists. They have also in- stalled a mixed material bay - not bad in three years, of which half of that was
during the long Melbourne lockdowns. Plus they’ve managed to win OEM rec- ognition from both Tesla and GM and, of
course, they have I-CAR Gold status. Like other approved repairers they have discovered that Tesla customers are a different breed and are very in- volved with their cars. You can see why Tesla have cherry picked the best repair-
ers in the country for their network.
