Aaron commenced his Mechanical apprenticeship in Penrith in 1991 giving him an extensive range of knowledge over the last 30 years. He has held various roles within the local automotive industry and motor racing including

• Go-karting
• Mechanic in The Australian Rally Championship and V8 Supercars
• Team boss and engineer in the Aussie Racing Car series
• Crew member Australian Production Touring Cars in the Bathurst 12hr

Aaron likes to spend his free time travelling and going on adventures with Claire, family time, enjoying good food, snow skiing, water skiing, motor racing, hiking and playing golf.

Claire completed a Business Management degree after the HSC.  She then worked in the Insurance Industry until the birth of her first child. Wanting to raise her children and maintain her career she and Aaron ran a Wastewater business from 1999 until they bought the Mechanical Workshop in 2006. This enabled Claire flexibility in being able to work from home with the children and be present with them for their extracurricular activities.

Claire is now working between home and the workshop taking on more of a management role, doing marketing, HR, bookkeeping and working on the business.

Claire took on the role of a leader at the Penrith chapter of Women with Altitude in 2021 – she loves being part of a networking organisation that helps other women achieve their full potential in a supportive way.

Claire likes to spend her free time travelling and going on adventures with Aaron, hanging out with family and friends, enjoying good food, snow skiing, water skiing, gardening and roller skating.

Aaron & Claire’s two children are now young adults. Courteney has retired from soccer and finished the HSC in 2017. She enjoyed a gap year and is currently studying Veterinary Technology at Uni. She became a qualified Vet nurse in 2021 and works part time at SASH while completing her studies. Finley joined the team here at Angus Car Service in 2017.
