Wilson & Rigby in the small country town of Allora on the Darling Downs of Queensland has been repairing cars for over 60 years. The current owners Peter and Anne Morton bought the the business 11 years ago and recently made the decision to join the Car Craft group.
Peter is a Toowoomba local who completed his trade as a spray-painter, before spending some time as rep for a major paint company and Anne is a fully qualified CPA accountant.
Since purchasing the business in 2005, the couple has upgraded the premises for increased efficiency. They have doubled the floor space, constructing a custom-built paint shop capable of heavy vehicle access and increased paint preparation areas to complement their Lowbake oven booth.
2016 saw the refurbishing of the body shop and the installation of a second chassis aligner. A large employer on the Allora scene, the success of Wilson and Rigby contributes greatly to the fabric of Allora’s prosperity, reports Car Craft's Ben Chesterfield.
Peter and his team work hard to deliver honest outcomes for their clients. Peter upgrades with continual training with ICAR and is now an ICAR Platinum Individual.
Peter and Anne did a lot of homework before making the decision to join the network and the growth of Car Craft in Queensland points to a need to be part of larger network, whie retaining business independence.
