In their role, "the two Wendys" offer support to families affected by autism spectrum disorders -- and education to schools, health providers and employers -- with clients stretching from South Wairarapa to Dannevirke.
Before receiving their new company car, the women used their own cars.
"It's amazing how much it all adds up -- you don't realise," said Ms Roesler.
"The other today, I managed to clock up 180km on my car, just from seeing clients in Masterton.
And it looks as though the Wendys will be putting the car to good use, with a growing client base.
Ms Roesler and Ms Paterson were originally contracted by Autism New Zealand, and supported at least 50 families in Wairarapa affected by autism -- but now say more are "tracking [them] down".
"All these people are finding us on Facebook," said Ms Paterson.
"It's been a wonderful response from the public."
With their new car about to hit the road, the Wendys hope the trust will become yet more visible to the community.
"We get people saying, 'I was finally able to find you' online -- but with a company car, people will see us out and about, and see we're available to them," said Ms Roesler.
"It will help raise our profile hugely.
"Autism can be a lonely journey, so we want people to know we're here."
As well as a car, the trust also has a new office space -- at FGM, 392 Queen St.
