24.01.2022 Is changing your cars air filter important?

24.01.2022 Moving Subarus into our Hornsby Location.

23.01.2022 Today we’re playing with this wrangler.

22.01.2022 This is Harith repairing a VW transporter tailgate that won’t open. He had to climb in with the plants to force it to open.

22.01.2022 Experimenting with some new thumb print animals. This is something we learnt from my late mother. Every time i make one (which is hundreds a week) I am reminded of her.

21.01.2022 Our newest staff member started at our Hornsby Site this week. He arrived on day one with this. Questions were asked. Its the single greatest coffee mug we have ever seen.

21.01.2022 But is it a toasted sandwich?

21.01.2022 We are still open. Gloves, masks, seat covers and sanitiser all in play. You can even drop you vehicle off or have it picked up with no human contact.

19.01.2022 This set of Subaru BRZ wheels have come through our parts store. Any one in the market for some wheels? 5X100 (allegedly)

19.01.2022 Things happening with these. Land rovers running like milk wagons.

19.01.2022 Spot the boys. Working hard a few days out from Christmas.

19.01.2022 Our Honda Jazz. The sign writing is regularly discussed at our Warriewood location. One member of the public thought we ran a petting zoo. We might need to re-assess our vehicle signage in the future.

18.01.2022 Our man Andrew. This is him on Friday morning representing GDL at our BNI networking. It’s a 5am start after a huge week. Enjoy the weekend mate. A well deserved break is in order.

17.01.2022 We are working on the next animal for our much loved thumbprint cards. Its a bit of process to get it right. Squirrels, jellyfish, iguanas and yaks. Who knows which one will be next.

17.01.2022 Engines coming out of Holden cruise. Covid means people are skipping services. 30,000kms with out an oil change and drive it till it stops. Dont skip your services.

17.01.2022 Workshop controller for today.

17.01.2022 Resetting Range Rover service reminders with no scan tool. It can be done.... if you stand on one foot, on a Tuesday, with three grams of corn seed in your left pocket.

17.01.2022 Our new auto parts division is going exceptionally well. This week we look set to break our weekly financial goals significantly. We are working diligently to secure some new stock for those wanting Subaru parts. This BRZ is one such car we are trying to secure. Check our our GDLAutoparts Facebook page or the instagram account for updates on vehicles and parts going through our new wrecking yard.

17.01.2022 We need your help. We need to grow our Hornsby location. Who do you know that lives or works int he Hornsby area that could benefit from our pick up service.

16.01.2022 Things those within the industry know.

16.01.2022 The two hoists from our downsizing of warriewood have now been installed at our hornsby site. GDL auto parts now has its own hoists. If you look closely you will see the first two Subarus getting dismantled. Never mind the two fruit bats in the middle.

16.01.2022 Our Subaru Impreza is our latest vehicle to be vandalised. The little Astronaut had my face on it (Dannie) there were four on this vehicle. They have all been attacked and now removed. (You can just make it out on the bonnet. ) Our Commodore ute has had the panels kicked in and THE WOO had its wheels attacked in the past. Tall poppy at its finest. All this does is strengthen my resolve to achieve even more.

16.01.2022 Want to be notified when our Spare Parts division receives new vehicles for dismantling? Click the link to be added to our mailing list to receive notifications when stock arrives.

16.01.2022 This was a prize we won from Snap over four years ago. Last weekend my four year old son found the box sitting on a shelf in my office and insisted we play with it. Play lasted all of thirty seconds before it was ploughed into the gutter at full noise. "Dont worry, dad will fix it" announced the two year old. No we have to replace a snapped front hub on this thing.

15.01.2022 This is the process we follow at all GDL Stores. By following this we can ensure no client ever receives a bill for an amount they were not expecting.

14.01.2022 Rocking the security cameras at our Hornsby Location. Check out that set up with five hoists now in action.

13.01.2022 We had a visitor today. No one believe me that I saw a fox run through the car park. Security camera pays for itself in saving credibility.

12.01.2022 This Jeep was following a truck carrying a huge drum of white paint.

12.01.2022 We purchased this sensational Forster which has been modified into sedan form. The boys father sold us the vehicle and explained how this happened. Basically it’s A young guy being silly. That’s fine, it’s a right of passage in the modified car scene. (I wrote off three cars in my twenties)We have all done it, in one form or another and we move on. However it’s Interesting to see the young gun on the enthusiast pages angrily defend his integrity and spin lies about how this happened. Tip for young players. This does not happen just driving normally own your mistakes and people will respect you for it. Spin rubbish about how it’s not your fault and the car community just laughs at you.

12.01.2022 Today we will receive the official announcement (from someone in an expensive suit) about the economic impact COVID has had on the June quarter. No prizes for guessing how that will go. Throughout COVID people are watching the spending, and rightly so. We have released a list of things we see in our industry where consumers could be saving a lot of money. Follow the link and will give you thats list.

11.01.2022 Today we are officially two weeks into our new auto parts venture. Team onboard, hoists are now in and operational, stock has arrived and software is up and running. Now to get some momentum behind it. I started a new business in COVID. It was either really clever or extremely foolish. Ill let you know in a years time. #newbusinessventure #startup #covid

10.01.2022 Change they way you think about getting your car serviced. Who do you know that needs to take advantage of our pick up service.

10.01.2022 Our Hornsby store front office has got a do over. Now that three people need to work in this space, a weekend trip to ikea, a council clean up and a massive tidy up means this store can now be far more productive.

10.01.2022 Here is a bunch of Subarus About to get stripped for parts. Want to see whats happening in our auto parts side of things? Follow us on Facebook gdlautoparts and instagram gdlautoparts

10.01.2022 Here she is. Officially our first vehicle to be dismantled by GDL auto parts. (We do have a Range Rover destined for the same fate however we dont have paperwork stating we own it yet) This is the car we went to singleton and back for last week. If you would like updates on this car or any vehicles coming through head over to our GDL auto parts Facebook page.

09.01.2022 Last weekend we focused on the New subaru dismantlers business we have launched. We made some moves on several vehicles. Friday evening we went after ten individual vehicles, we got the go ahead on five and then got the run around on two of them. The result is we learnt some lessons very quickly and spent saturday picking up three new vehicles for dismantling. The boys came for the drive.

08.01.2022 Today we officially launch GDL auto parts. This is a journey that started off looking at moving a number of used cars, opportunities came and went. Long story short and the final result is this man (Gordon) joins our team overseeing the wreaking of Subarus. The company is expanding In ways we did not foresee.

08.01.2022 Two of our finest.

05.01.2022 This blokes advice is to avoid owning one of these.

05.01.2022 Volvos are coming though our doors quite a bit in recent months. A lack of dealers in recent times may be helping this cause. Our Hornsby tech Chris is a Volvo trained technician. Got a Volvo that needs some love? We can help you out.

05.01.2022 Alarm Bells are ringing. This is an extremely poor mechanical practice. In this case the thermostat has been removed to hide a blown head gasket. The car was then sold to an unsuspecting P plater whos first car is now looking at the cost of a head gasket replacement. Scum

05.01.2022 Jeep engine mounts. Dumping chocolate milk all over your driveway since 2008

04.01.2022 This is what happens when several Millennial males congregate around a case of VB. A weekend with a angle grinder turned this liberty wagon into a liberty Ute. It has no exhaust (we expected nothing less) soon to be dismantled.

04.01.2022 Spring has begun. To kick off Spring we are giving every service through any of our stores a free air filter replacement. Is your car due for a service? Lets get it done and save you some $$ too.

04.01.2022 Here is a flash back to how it all started. A car on axle stands in my parents car port. September 30th 2010 was when it became a full time operation for me.

04.01.2022 Throughout all of May. All rego inspections at all GDL stores are free. Rego inspections are valid for six months so if yours is due any time between now and November. Jump on it now.

04.01.2022 Putting your service on hold to save some coin??

02.01.2022 This little guy is coming on a road trip to singleton and back tonight. This car better be worth it.

01.01.2022 Our ute loaded up with spare parts to head to Hornsby for the begging of our GDL Auto parts business.
