What I work on

1.1
Logbook servicing to manufacturer schedules
I service to the book and fill it in properly, so the car's service history stays complete.
1.2
Diagnostics and fault finding
Scan tools, live data and proper testing. I find the fault before anyone orders a part.
1.3
Brakes, suspension, steering and cooling
The everyday work that keeps a car safe to drive and off the side of the road.
1.4
Parts replacement
Fitted properly and checked over before the car goes back to the customer.
1.5
Roadworthy inspections
I'm an Approved Queensland Roadworthy Examiner, so I can do safety certificate inspections in the workshop.
1.6
The workshop side
Quoting, writing up job cards and talking customers through what their car needs. My Diploma in Automotive Management covers this part of the job.
