Hi Matt (and Norm),
I just wanted to let you know I have fitted the console and
I am extremely happy with it. It’s nice to see a business still
making things with such care for quality and attention to detail.
Thank you.

Morning Rohan,
Just wanted to let you know
that I received the console about a week and a half ago and
installed it that night. It looks great mate, they fit pretty
much perfect and the centre console makes driving so much more
comfortable. It came just in time as we had a decent road trip
planned for the next day.
I've had a heap of comments
about it too, everyone is impressed at how much better it is
than the standard one.
Cheers for your help and I'll
be recommending you to a few mates that are looking for something
similar.

I received a very professional looking roof console for my 2007
Toyota Hilux and fitted it over the weekend. It is a perfect
fit and built exactly to my requirements. Once again thank you
for your excellent service and a top quality product.

I had a console and GME radio fitted earlier this year and
in the course of a conversation Nick said he could fix my
uncomfortable seats.
Recently I dropped the HiLux in to Carlton for the day and
had both front seats re-upholstered.
The difference is just amazing, I can now really enjoy driving
and not end up with a sore back.
Thankyou for your fantastic service, everyone who gets into
the Lux is impressed with the fit and quality of the console.
Norm suggested I fit the map lights, they are so handy.
The seats have made such a difference to driving comfort.
Thankyou for your helpful advice and terrific product service.

Hi Rohan
This is just a note to let you know that the ‘T’
roof console we recently purchased from you is now installed
and Laurence couldn’t be happier with it. He couldn’t
believe how easily it slotted in place –
no adjustments necessary.
Thanks for doing such a great job Rohan
Kind regards

To
whom it may concern,
I recently contacted Department of the Interior
in relation to a centre console for my 1971 Datsun 1600 Wagon.
From the moment my phone call was answered
it was clear the staff at Department of the Interior are vastly
experienced and very flexible in relation to design.
After considerably altering the design of their
template I paid a very reasonable price for my console, and
turnaround time on my whole console from ordering until it was
on my door was just shy of 2 weeks.
On arrival of the package it was well packed
and very secure for any damage in transit, the complete product
was immaculately presented and the quality and workmanship was
like none that I have seen in any other custom consoles.
The product was made precisely to my specifications
and fitted the car better than a factory fit. Since fitting
this console to my car I have had many comments on its exact
fit and extremely high quality.
I would not hesitate in the slightest to recommend
Department of the Interior, to any customer considering using
this company or enquiring about the high caliber products they
produce as mentioned above all aspects of their work is
perfect and faultless.
In closing I would like to sincerely thank
Department of the Interior for their work on my car and for
all the comments I have received about the outstanding product
they have provided me with.
Yours Sincerely

Norm,
Of course you may use my feed back, I still
have the vehicle and I’ve been to Cape York, Rainbow beach,
Stradbroke Island and various tracks and training grounds. Using
this vehicle twice a month tripping – camping and once
a year a big trip somewhere isolated. This Prado been off road
more than on bitumen and the console is still looking and feeling
good. I even had a comment from a senior staff member from Toyota
Australia – Brisbane saying it looked factory build, especially
with the materials used. I’ll throw some pictures in for
you to look at, its still there after 4 years of use. Therefore
all your instructions (which are simple) give it a durability
as well as good looks.
Thanks again.
Yours,

Hi
Received order yesterday for LC76 Centre console and floor

Hi Guys,
Just want to say thanks for doing a fantastic job on my roof
console. It was exactly how I wanted it!
I installed it last weekend (5th Nov) and it looks great and
fitted perfectly, mounting holes in the right place. The only
thing I did different, was use 4mm AVK inserts in the dome light
mounting bracket instead of using your supplied self tappers.
I prefer a metal thread instead of a self tapper, it's just
my preference (I'm a perfectionist!).
Regards,
Michael Carey. |
Norm,
I would like to thank you for the overhead
console for my 2003 model Prado. I received it yesterday, and
installed it last night. It took my boy and I bit less than
4 hrs to install including the CB and wiring. The finish of
the product is superb; the material matched the existing roof
lining just like a factory finish. You guys delivered on time
as promised and everything fits perfect including the sunglass
holder and CB. The instructions were easily followed.
The only hiccup I had is the extension of the
cabling for the interior lights, I wish you can get extensions
from Toyota to make things simpler.
This is the second console from you guys, the
first was back in the late 80’s for a centre console for
a Torana.
I would like thank you again,
Yours,
Walter

Thanks guys,
The console I ordered for my 1997 Rodeo R7 arrived on Thursday
and fits a treat - in fact even better! Thanks for supplying a
great product and excellent delivery. I will certainly recommend
to others!

Hi Brett,
I received the roof console for my NM Pajero today –
as promised. It is now fitted and I and my passenger are extremely
impressed. The fitting was simple with the detailed and easy
to follow instructions, all parts being included, and the overall
design of the console – if it weren’t for gravity
it would fall into place!
The finish is of a very high standard and the whole unit
looks fantastic in place. Thank you so much for a great addition
to my ride. I would have no hesitation in recommending your
company to others.

Finally
got around to fitting the overhead console and the extra glovebox
in the GU Patrol this weekend. I was enormously impressed with
the quality of fit and finish of both – especially the
console. The colour match to the original trim is perfect. Very
glad I went with the vinyl covered version from Dept, rather
than a plastic pop-out from one of your competitors.
Pleasure doing business with you.
Cheers

Hi
Norm,
Just wanted to thank you so much for the 'cruiser'
console. It arrived on Tuesday (which was really quick
to QLD), I had fairly high expectations and it certainly
didn't disappoint.
It will be getting installed today, the colour is excellent
for the vehicle. I am showing all my friends proudly as there
is no comparison to their cheaper consoles. It certainly shows
the difference between an 'average' console and a professionally
designed piece, my cabin interior looks excellent now, the fit
was absolutely perfect...looks totally 'custom made'!!!.
Thanks again, could you please also thank Brett
who I communicated with in the early stages, if it had not been
for his efficiency and professionalism with all my queries,
I wouldn't have purchased anything!.
I look forward to buying more off you in the
future!
Thank you,
Wendy Collier, QLD |
G'day
Norm and the team,
Just a quick one to thank you all for the excellent job
you guys did fitting out my 2010 model Landcruiser Troop Carrier.
The draw system which incorporates the double fridge slides
is just the best available without a doubt. Very strong and
durable and not a single rattle after months of off road use.
The three consoles you built and installed continue to
impress. The overhead T shape unit up front is very accessible
in all ways and does the job perfectly. The centre console between
the front buckets provides the extra storage needed up front,
while the rear above doors unit with the Alpine speakers fitted
provides surround sound quality while I’m laying in bed
watching the flip down DVD you installed for me.
I'm so glad I took your advice and reinforced and covered
all the side and rear door internal panels, because not only
has this reduced road noise by more than 50%, it has also increased
the life and durability of the panels. And all this in
just four days with all materials used and the quality of workmanship
excellent.
Norm, at 59 years of age and being involved in the Mining
and Road Transport industries for most of my life, I'm not easily
impressed, so I gotta tell ya, that the job you and your team
did fitting out my vehicle is second to none. People often ask
me if it was a factory fitout, I just laugh and give 'em
your contact details.
It was a pleasure doing business with you all, from start
to finish.
Kind Regards

Hi,
I’ve just fitted the centre floor console to my Troop
Carrier and wish to express my satisfaction with the product.
It is true to the detail on your website, the quality of
workmanship is excellent and it fits neatly into the vehicle.
Whilst ordering the product the staff were courteous and
helpful and the console was delivered within the time frame
promised.
All in all, a good buy and satisfactory outcome.
Regards,
Mike Reed, NT |
Hi,
Sorry for being a little slow in offering feedback on your
product. I am Gavin Stonier and I recently contacted Brett
and talked through my idea of a particular slide design to suit
a Primus Duo Fridge/Freezer and the need for this slide to fit
into a 200 Series Sahara 7 Seat Wagon, in the position of the
Driver’s side rear seat and yet still allow that seat
to remain in the folded up position and the Passenger side rear
seat to still be in a normal functional position.
Brett took onboard my requirements and we talked through
the measurements that he required for the factory to start working
on my slide. All of this was done before I had actually
taken receipt of the vehicle and required that I take measurements
from vehicles in the showrooms of various Toyota Dealers. So
I handed over the measurements and ordered the slide, well before
my vehicle was due to be delivered.
I did receive the slide in good time and in good order,
actually within days of taking delivery of the vehicle.
I immediately fitted the slide and discovered that the measurements
and the construction of the slide were all perfect. The
fridge fits perfectly and ticks all the boxes I had envisaged
that it would.
I am very happy with the outcome.
Kind Regards, and many thanks,
Gavin Stonier |

Norm & co.
Where do I start? The drawer fit perfectly, and was quick
to fit. My brother helped and we had in done in under 2 hours.
The dog can still jump in and out of the back with ease. I can
hang my 80kg off the back of the drawer and the only thing that
moves is the car as the suspension settles. Rolls quietly and
smoothly. All solid as a rock.
The centre roof console looks very professional. Also very solid,
and has not moved at all since being installed a couple of weeks
ago.
Tremendously happy with the product and would recommend
it to anyone.
Thanks,
Tony Dique
