GIVING BACK
Two of Car Craft Group’s members have taken up positions on their lo- cal MTAs to work on behalf of their fellow repairers. Give it up for Mi- chelle Ferbrache from Essendon Panels in Melbourne who joins VACC as member on the Body Re- pair Division and Dario Tonon of Eblen Collision Repairs, Adelaide who is now Chairman of the Body Repair Division, MTA SA.
While we’re on the topic of giv- ing back, well played to Car Craft WA members who are heavily in- volved with the Wheels for Hope charity which supports disability affected families. The group has raised over $120,000 over the last 12 years.
Car Craft Group makes up 48% of ICAR Gold businesses, with
more on the way and recently more Car Craft shops have passed their AMBRA Grading including Len Hollis Repair Facility, NSW and Karratha Panel and Paint WA with more on the way shortly.

FIX AUTO STARS
Lana Pagiamtzis from Fix Auto Mulgrave has not only had her best year ever – despite lock- down but she’s also bought an- other shop, taking over the franchise from Fix Auto Clay- ton. Lockdown meant having to shut Clayton for a couple of weeks but she managed to keep all of the staff and keep busy at Mulgrave thank to a great rela- tionship with the insurer she works with.
Travis Arnold at Fix Auto Morley was hamstrung with a relatively small workshop and leapt at the chance of buying the tyre and business next door. Now he has been able to move his front office, have a drive through assessment area, a non–drive assesment area and a workshop purely for produc- tion. In addition he now offers tyre and mechanical services which should really boost his bottom line. The remodel isn’t finished yet but already pro- duction has doubled.
