Mechanic of 35 Years
I started my apprenticship at 15 in the Audi / Volkwagon Dealership in Brentwood England.
33 years later I still love working on cars, working with my hands and being on the tools.
You never stop learning and the advances in the car industry always keep it interesting.
Business Owner 21 Years
I am proud to call the Sunshine Coast home. There is no better place to work and raise a family.
I moved to Australia from England in 2001. I brought a Kombi van and started working as a Mobile Mechanic based in Bokarina.
I still have a few loyal customers that have been with me from the start that remember me rocking up in my Blue Kombi with long hair and a tan.
My Matra used to be – if I can keep this on the road, I can keep anything going.
Any Kombi owner will understand what I mean.
Kawana Workshop
21 Years
The Kombi got upgraded to two Toyota Hiace vans, work got seriously busy and the Mobile Mechanic work lead to opening my first workshop in Warana.
Next the kids came along and I settled into family life, the Kombi got replaced with a sensible stationwagon, the tan faded, the hair became somewhat thinner and the smile lines have deepened.
Life was good, the customers kept returning, the coast kept growing and I decided it was time to upgrade to somewhere newer and more modern.
Premier Circuit 7 Years
In 2015 we moved Protune to our Fully Equipped Mechanical Workshop at Premier Circuit, Kawana.
With easier access just off the Kawana Way and down the road from the new Kawana Hospital, easier access and still enough for all our regular customers to get to.
still love working on cars and spinning the tools, best of all I love seeing customers happy and returning for their regular service.
