Our mission goes beyond building shelves or fixing taps. It’s about breaking down barriers, building confidence, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome and supported.

It’s time to pop the hood and learn the skills that keep you safer on the road 🚗
Our Motor Vehicle Maintenance course is designed to give you real confidence with your car, from understanding basic servicing through to changing a tyre and knowing what actually needs attention before heading to the mechanic.
Led by qualified motor mechanic Gabrielle (Gubs) Abel, you’ll learn:
✔️ How to safely use your jack and change a tyre
✔️ What’s under your bonnet and what to check
✔️ Basic maintenance between services
✔️ The mechanic “lingo” that helps you ask the right questions
This course is mixed gender, so you’re welcome to come along with your partner, friend, or kids if they’re learning to drive.
It’s a great way to help new drivers feel more confident and safer on the roads before they’re out there on their own.

In the past six months, we’ve grown from 6k to over 54k followers on Facebook alone.
With that has come something incredible… but also something we didn’t expect quite this quickly: a huge demand for courses.
April booked out completely. Waitlists have been filling faster than we can schedule new sessions, and messages and enquiries have been coming in every day.
And while we’re incredibly grateful for the support, the reality is this: we’ve always designed our courses to be small, hands-on and safe. That means limited spots, more one-on-one support, and a better experience for everyone in the room.
So instead of rushing to scale and losing what makes WOTT what it is, we’re focused on growing properly.
Behind the scenes, we’re training more instructors, growing our admin team, releasing course dates earlier, and working towards offering courses in more locations in the future.
But to do that well, we need your help.
We’ve created a short survey to better understand where you’re based and what courses you’d most like to see more of. This helps us plan future locations, add the right classes, and continue growing in a way that genuinely supports the community.
Whether you’ve never attended a course or you’ve done several already, your feedback makes a huge difference.
