Carolyn and Dave Elder have done it again… Fraser Island Towing, Rainbow Beach Towing & 4×4 Hire now includes Rainbow Beach Automotive.
“The opportunity arose to purchase the building at 23 Karoonda Rd where our towing business is based, so we thought why not?” says Carolyn Elder.
“We had been looking for land with the view of building our own workshop and expanding the business once our lease ended in 2017. By purchasing the established building we have everything we were looking for and it’s already Council approved. It was just a matter of removing one inside wall and the move was complete.
“This completes the services we are able to offer,” continues Carolyn. “We have the towing, the vehicle hire and are now able to offer repairs as well!”
“Rainbow Beach is so seasonal, by expanding our services we can offer our staff stable employment, without the worry of ‘Is there going to be enough work next week?’.
“In the new year, we will be concentrating on offering all the services the premises is well known for, such as ‘roadworthies’, tyres, mechanical repairs including insurance and warranty repairs, and the sale of spare parts and recovery equipment.”
Carolyn explains, “We now have a staff of five, we quickly offered Paul O’Connell a position to continue his apprenticeship, he is a great worker and a real asset.”
Carolyn and Dave are also looking to add a qualified mechanic/tow truck operator to work here and on Fraser Island. Give them a call 5486 8555 if you have the goods!
