What Truckworks does

Truckworks Australia is a privately-held heavy vehicle services company founded in 2000 and headquartered at 13-15 Hakkinen Road, Wingfield, South Australia. Operated by business partners Lyndon and Sharon Reynolds, who relocated from Tasmania where they previously ran Reynolds Bodytech, the company functions as a one-stop shop for truck drivers throughout South Australia. Core offerings include 24/7 heavy vehicle towing and recovery, professional crash repairs for all makes and models of trucks and trailers, custom paint work, vehicle restorations, and the sale of imported American-made Peterbilt trucks and tow trucks customized for Australian conditions and ADR compliance.

The company's technical capability rests on specialized, capital-intensive equipment. Crash repairs use the Swedish-made JOSAM collision repair system for chassis straightening and alignment, supplemented by a one-man Portalift inspection system that provides unrestricted underbody access. Recovery operations deploy a 35-tonne Century 7035 unit and a Peterbilt Rotator capable of lifting vehicles up to 75 tonnes and rotating them 360 degrees. Painting and refinishing occur in two climate-controlled Lowbake ovens (12m and 19m) using premium PPG paints. The website's footer is 'powered by OurAuto Digital,' suggesting a digital platform partner, though the underlying business remains equipment- and labor-driven.

The business model spans four revenue streams: usage-based towing and recovery (24/7), professional-services crash repair (quote-based), one-time vehicle sales (Peterbilt trucks and tow trucks, ADR-compliant, with Miller and NRC equipment fitted), and professional-services custom paint and restoration work. Go-to-market is sales-led and geographically concentrated, with services delivered either at the Wingfield facility or via mobile recovery units dispatched throughout the Adelaide area. The firm holds Premium Repairer status with NTI, Recommended Repairer status with QBE, and is a Recommended Repairer for Elders Insurance, providing insured-claim referral channels. The company is a Gold Sponsor of the South Australian Road Transport Association (SARTA), the peak road transport body in the state.
