If any of my friends ever needed a Panel-beater, I’d send them straight to Rob. In fact, my friend’s mother was a regular there until she could no longer drive. Most days, you’ll find someone you know there who has just dropped in for a yarn – with or without dents.
So when the Autobody Workshop closes its doors for the last time in the next week or so, Crummer Road won’t just be losing a panel shop, it will be losing a true character. And we’ll be losing a salt of the earth, bloody good bloke who was always there to help.
