About Us: Maggie
Jason Barker • November 1, 2023
I joined CARS in October 2012 as a Panel Beater, having previously worked in the vehicle repair industry for a number of years. I enjoy the variation in my role at CARS, as I get to work on a different type of vehicle every day.
It’s interesting to see how vehicles have changed with technology over time, and CARS is a great place for me to develop this knowledge. I hope to continue training and growing for years to come.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my Wife and young Son. I have several hobbies, and am keen to learn about anything and everything I can!
