The faces at our Johnsonville & Petone branches
Steve
Steve is our senior Auto Electrician on site, who enjoys tinkering with big trucks and going on long rides on his motorbike. Enjoying a good collection of classic movies and music, he would make a great team member for quiz night. Granddad is not a nickname for him anymore, because now he is proud granddad, so we’ll have to come up with another pet name for him.
Brendon
Wow, first time every time, its true, if he says it only take one take he means it. Definitely determined to get results he takes the time to ensure that things are planned and organised, if not then he makes it happen. A family man with many females in his life, no wonder he is perfect in everything he does.
Julian
Julian is a fully qualified technician who steps into the Workshop Manager role when required. He is a cricket enthusiast and enjoys the odd fishing weekend away. He also has a great sense of humour if he’s had enough sleep.
Jimmy
Well, top marks to Jimmy, giving the extra mile every time to his customers, they know the quality of workmanship has been carried out with precision. His passion for Muscle cars and V8’s has intermingled with his interests and career - luckily a job he loves doing. Jimmy has built up a bit of a reputation in the who’s who club for car enthusiasts. He is so full of energy, sometimes we have to put him on pause and slow speed to keep up with him.
Alan
The man that gets the job done effortlessly every time, is Alan - organising chaos is what he thrives on the most. Steering and guiding the crew through rough waters, always ends up a smooth sailing day for Mr Frost. Dedicated is an understatement, he is always there to assist, and this is definitely the man you want on your side when under pressure. A walking encyclopaedia and trivial pursuit man, Alan is a fountain of general knowledge which keeps things lively and challenging.
Dave
Dave is a technician who likes a challenge and has the can do attitude. Nothing is too complicated, and Dave welcomes all cars with open arms. There is no bolt, screw or nut that he can’t undo. He has many nicknames here - some like to call him Super Dave - but the personal favourite is “The Hulk.”
James
James is a ‘one of a kind’ type person, you will probably never meet anyone like him. “Basically” is his favourite saying. He never seems to stop smiling and is always willing to help. James is always the life of the party and basically brightens up the day for all at Autostop.
David
David is very knowledgeable and talented for a young technician, and loves to work on BMW’s and performance cars. He will always be there when you call on him. David has a great sense of humour and enjoys participating in team building events. He also comes up with the darnedest words and sayings that seem to catch on!
Daphne
She enjoys keeping the finger on the pulse, likes to get stuck into a job hands on or not. Daphne tries to prioritise, but every job is important to her... if only she had eight arms and a clone she’d be happy. Administration is where her role is, so if you have a query, she can look at it and help you out one way or another.
Danielle
Drama is what makes her day, the more drama the better. But don’t worry, the daily episodes always have a fairytale ending. Danielle does like keeping her cars' appearance up with the play - mag wheels, lights, gadgets, stereo, speakers, sub-woofers, air fresheners, she's definitely an accessories girl. Danielle is the one person you may hear from the most in any one day, as she mans the desk and on occasion works on the floor.
Jeff
Our Jeff is the nice guy. He gets the job done every time, and backs everybody up. Jeff likes to ensure things are done in a timely manner. The muscle car he has turns heads and it is even famous - you may have seen it on King Kong, Peter Jackson style. He is one of the Senior Technicians on site with the gift of youthful looks and no worry lines.
Shelley
Has joined the team on the Petone Esplanade, assisting the lads in the office and reception, and keeps them on their toes. Interested in horses and ponies? Well maybe she will be able to give us some hot tips on the next Melbourne Cup! A good communicator, she is someone you want to take with you if you want to meet new people.
Aaron
Is into having a good appearance and maintaining good health. Aaron makes sure he treats his body right, and knows what he wants to achieve and enjoys his gym workouts. Same goes for his cars. He enjoys the big jobs and handles them with ease, is skilled in working on 4wd’s and Subaru’s. Aaron is very methodical and likes to have things planned and organised so the day runs smoothly.
Reuben
He has joined us knowing that he would learn and broaden his knowledge in the automotive industry, and is learning a lot from those around him. Well established in his environment, he adapts well to change and never lets any obstacles stop him from achieving his goals. For a young man he knows what he wants and he goes for it, and has great courage.
Chrissie
Every day she is here is a pleasant day, with her bubbly personality and her gift of the silver tongue; she has everyone under her magical spell. Enlightening and full of good advice, she tells you how it is and if you don’t like it, then ask someone else. Looking after the team and making sure their paperwork is done and up to date, keeping everyone in place and on target.
Mitchell
Boy has he got a lot to learn, keen and eager, that’s what we need. He is quiet, don’t let that fool you he will let you know the truth if you ask. Willing to give anything a go, he may not get it right, but he is prepared to learn, exactly. Sweet smile and softly spoken, he’s gonna give the guys around here a run for their money when he matures!
Mark
Mark is the Property Manager for Autostop, planning, maintaining, structuring and organising is what he specialises in. He is the professional rally driver in the Autostop race car...watch this space for the next defending champ! Practical and gentlemanly (he likes to believe), he enjoys the opportunity to plan ahead. He is often challenged by the 9 letter word in the newspaper.
Chris
Monitoring and guiding the success of the business is in the hands of this gentleman, building on good solid foundations and encouraging fairness and principles. He is a great leader for people who want to gain good knowledge, to source better opportunities, to be inspired, and for anyone wishing to achieve. He is family orientated and enjoys spending all his spare time with them, his annual event navigating in the Autostop race car is definitely something he looks forward to each year.
