Happy 10th Birthday
Yep 10 years. 2006 saw the start of Newcastles only 100% locally owned and operated dedicated windscreen and window tinting business. With 3 existing big national companies, a large house-glass company that does windscreens on the side and a few ‘1 man vans’ we saw a gap in Newcastles local windscreen market.
Nova Autoglass and Tinting was the chosen name as it was clear we were local and we specialised in automotive glass and window tinting. Starting up as a two man team and my wife doing the books we quickly grew as Novocastrians proved their patriotism to the city they love by choosing to support local business.
In 2008 we opened a second shop at Berkeley Vale on the Central Coast originally called Pitstop Windscreen Replacement (now Central Coast Mobile Windscreens). In 2012 a change of business structure saw the start of Nova Pitstop pty ltd, merging the 2 names and forming the company now known as now ‘Nova Pitstop’. We have since opened 2 more locations plus added some new branding to suit.
The last 10 years has been a great challenge with lots of ups and downs and has taught us a lot. Hopefully the next 10 years is as fun and exciting as the last!
