About Nick
I have been in the motor trade and related areas for about 40 years. I started out in Rhodesia and then moved to Australia in 1981. Half of these years have been spent doing vehicle inspections, the last ten of which have been at RAC. During this time I have been involved with most aspects of improving the processes and methods used in the inspection field. I am always looking for a better way to do my job.
What's more, I like what I do and look forward to doing it until retirement. In my time, I have also been involved in motorsport (both race and rally), rebuilding vintage cars, military service and several supervisory roles, always learning something new.
About Todd
In 1989 I started my automotive apprenticeship at Shacks Holden. The work there involved servicing and repairing most types of vehicles mainly Holdens. In my spare time I restored a few vintage cars for myself.
I then moved to Dixon's Auto Tuning in Rockingham, working on all makes and models including European vehicles, Japanese imports, petrol and diesel vehicles, tractors and even golf carts! One of my favorite things there was working on rally cars and restoring older cars. When the owner was away I ran the business and enjoyed the interaction with customers and also helping in the training of apprentices.
In 2002 I started at the RAC as a Vehicle Inspector and later became the Senior Inspector which included a lot of time as acting supervisor. I like to stay up to date with current vehicles as this helps with my job.
