These guys come as guys that have "paid their dues", learnt valuable lessons along the way, know their stuff, proud of what they do, know how to treat, keep and increase their customer base AND deserve every success that they achieve. Best of luck to all of the CRD crew and your clients. To Motive Video - one of the best shop tours and interview of one of the best shops and owner I have seen. Thank you for supporting and presenting our local guys so well.

Just incredible dedication. World class setup. Got be one of the if not best setups in Australia.💪🏻💯

As a mechanic id love to work for a place like Croydon's. For the cars but for the legacy and to say I've been a part of it at one stage in my own life would be a dream come true!

That workshop is goals honestly ! 😍🙂 well done boys

id love to see what theyd do with a swift GTI with todays tech. sick stuff

Great to see CRD taking it to the next level, I had my s14 tuned there about 7years ago, Jim knew so much and such a well mannered person but, there service desk team particularly one blokes attitude made me not return or send repeat business, good too see them thriving under new ownership

I want to live in that workshop.😍

Con's Racing Developments! The workshop is a massive step up. Congratulations guys! I'm looking forward to bring my car there for a tune with my new big turbo. 👍💪

Great video that workshop looks mint . Its great when people put up workshop videos and you get to see what local companies are up to

wow seeing exvitermini clips really takes me back, i remember watching videos of it driving around sydney launching at the lights and being a menace, whoever was in the car was having so much fun and so was i just watching the videos and im having fun once again reminiscing haha jeez i loved that car

It’s a great incite into how far they have come. The reason why we hear and see so much about cars from this workshop. Truely it’s because they have a fully set up workshop that has definitely set the bar for any competition. Workshop and race shop separate and super clean. Professional top to bottom that’s definitely dedication 👍👍

Andrew Excellent intro Sound track ! Great video on their new workshop world class.

Workshop looks amazing, well done guys!

Nice introduction to the owners and workshop :)

Wow, I was lucky enough to visit you fellas last December and Andre took my friend and I through the shop. I remember being in awe then and he had mentioned moving in to the new space sometime soon and I guess that's now! The new facility looks AMAZING, I hope I get to visit again soon and bring some goodies back!

Looks like an absolutely amazing place!!! You Ozzies make the British like myself s bit jealous 😉👍 lol I wondered what happened to CRD cos we haven't seen much of the recently on Motive but it's great to see what's been going on & looking forward to see what's to come 😃😃😃

Best workshop in the country in my eyes. I love working with the CRD team their communication is second to none, always willing to help and do not faulter from their high quality. Congrats Kostas, Omar, Andrej and the boys on the new workshop and above all thank you its been an absolute pleasure working with you.

When i buy a GTR ill come to CRD for a tune

Excellent lay out for a workshop and clean as that’s in the same league as a nascar or f1 workshop and cleaner than a hospital surgery room very impressive

i hate talkin bout money but how much money went in that shop is crazy...very very well done, wish you the best!!

Such an awesome shop!

These guys are serious abt holding records. I like how they count things down to the day of holding the records. Thats meticulous for ya!

The shop is legit goals/ideal. Huge lot, huge space to work on cars. Engine building room is big

What an amazing setup , I immediately laughed at my driveway and single garage lmao

That is an incredible workshop 🤯🤯🤯

Great intro!

The workshop looks great kind of reminds me of precision automotive.

fully sick mate

Jesus that’s an impressive setup

The amount of work time and development in those cars is amazing I can’t even finish my SR20 build it’s only been 11 years but who’s counting ☹️

Damn epic shop

Been following Drew Hall’s car for a while now. Easily my favourite GT-R. The exhaust note is something else. That and the car at 0:34 sound 3 steps above what RBs sound like with a 6boost manifold.

Soooo good!!!

What a fantastic attitude but the owners!

Wicked 💪

Wow! That’s all!!!!

Very nice😊

Sick

I wish all shops treated their customers cars like that !

Why? More bays means more cars and more work, not higher rates. Why do people feel the need to comment negatively like this? Theyve invested a lot of their own time and money to offer a good service.

Why would you assume that? Because of a clean well setup workshop? I'm a crd customer and let me tell you , they are priced no different to any other top tier gtr workshop in syd. And to be honest for the quality you're getting and respect your car is getting at crd, they actually should charge more for the service they provide in my opinion

I pay $130/hour at a shop that rents out one of the cheaper, about 200'something sqm units in town with a extremely packed parking lot with people zipping in and out all the time with very tight gaps yet 100k+ immaculate GTR's sit in that same space who are regular repeat customers. If a shop like in the video isn't too much higher labour rate, then that's a winning combination. With the added space they can employ extra mechanics and consecutively work on more cars at the same time to make up for the higher rent

Its not an indictment on CRD and what they choose to charge, its acknowledging that to play in these kind of sand pits you have to have pretty deep pockets, regardless of which tuning shop you choose to go to.. Im over here trying to decide if I should splash out and get the fancy chinese speedflow fittings, or just make do with the cheapy brass ones and hose clamps :-/

Question is, who are CRD, cos from what i gather its technically CRD&R. Croydon Racing Developments & Rigolis. The thing is, the rigolis have declared bankrupt on all their workshop names, and nearlly all members of the rigoli family works at "CRD", so who exactly owns and funded the new workshop???? Some sort of fraudulent activity going on. So if i get anything done, and something goes wrong, who do i blame, CRD or the Rigolis???

What the hell are you on about? That is the most incorrect comment on our channel to date. Con and Omar own it. One Rigoli family member is a mechanic there in the last month. Wow.
