The Former Tonsley Crash Repairs - sold 17/12/25 to new owners

17/12/2025

We freaking did it!! Goodbye TCR, 27 years of blood, sweat & tears. Thank you for being so good to us & being our 4th child. Today was settlement day & quite freakly would've been David's Dad Len's 74th birthday who was also a big part of TCR over some of those years. 😇

Tonsley Crash will seem a little different next year as we did sell to owners who wanted to keep the name running. But for David & I we're signing off & beginning a whole other chapter in life..David going into semi retirement & having a very well earned break & now being a MOL(man of leisure 🤭). I'm now able to focus on my job that I started in January & am absolutely loving!

Thank you to all of our staff, customers & suppliers who have supported us over the past 27 yrs at TCR 🥂🍾

This place has been a massive part of our lives for 27 years..the first 10 years David being an employee, then 17+ years ago we purchased it & it became our 4th child where we embarked into the scary world of self employment. What a journey its been..One that has allowed growth & flexibility as our young family grew.

So in saying that we've decided that we're ready to move onto the next chapter of our lives & its time for a change. We are super excited for the future beyond TCR as scary as that sounds for us both! Over the coming days if you drive past, you will see the big for sale sign go up!

We both wanted to say from the bottom of our hearts a thank you to all of our friends, family & customers for supporting us & our business over the last 27 years. It really has been a wonderful journey.

Our doors will be open till the 19th December if you're driving past & want to pop in to say farewell.

Thanks again & if you've got any suggestions for David who will be a man of leisure beyond Christmas, send them his way ha ha!

With much appreciation,

David & Amanda Carruthers
