"Too many fitters come through lacking the experience and background we need."
"It’s hard to find fitters who want local work and have a decent amount of workshop experience."
"A lot of fitters talk themselves up, but as soon as we ask a few basic technical questions, they have no idea."
"Finally when we think we have a fitter, they can't pass a DAS, or don't have Australian work rights or don't have their own hand tools."
