Brian hilton renault turns 1AS ONe OF the world’s most innovative car manufacturers Renault has been creating some of the world’s best cars for over 100 years. Producing a range of passenger, commercial and sport models such as the latest Renault Megane GT 220, there is a Renault for every occasion.

Renault is now even more affordable thanks to Capped Price Servicing across the range. elegant looks, versatility, safety and comfort, why not test drive one today?

who’s who? Meet Keith, our Renault Mechanic Specialist at Brian Hilton.

what experience do you have servicing prestige vehicles?

In 1988 I began working on an entire range of prestige vehicles over in the United Kingdom. I came out to Australia in 2005 and was trained on Renault vehicles. Within this industry technology is ever-changing therefore it is important for

you to continually update your skills and receive further training no matter how old you are!

Keeping your European vehicle in top shape?

Regular servicing can be overrated in the consumer mind however it is very important to change brake liquid every two years and coolant every four years. The weather conditions experienced in Australia puts a lot of stress on the vehicle – timing belt should also be changed every four years.

How long have you been a mechanic?

I started playing around and working with cars at the age of 14 and everything went from there.

if one of our readers would be interested in becoming a mechanic, how would they go about it?

An apprenticeship is the best way to get your foot in the door.

Completion of a four year apprenticeship including both attending TAFe and workshop experience is necessary within this industry.

KokodaGraeme Wade far right. The team at Brigade Hill a day after ANZAC day.

IN JaNuary thIS year I participated in walking the Kokoda track to raise funds for Lifeline’s new Online Chat Initiative. It was an experience that I will never forget – 9 days on a 96km track through Papua New Guinea’s thick jungle, walking in the footsteps of our aussie Diggers.

The aim of the trek was to not only finish but to be at Brigade hill on day 5 to commemorate anzac Day.

This was one of ‘life’s moments’ I will remember for many years, as 220 people quietly reflected on the sacrifice, courage, endurance and mateship the Diggers went through

on the Kokoda track.

One of my first sponsor’s was Brian hilton Motor Group who generously donated $1,000; this was a huge boost to my fund-raising initiative. at the completion of my journey, the entire team managed to raise $53,781.80 for Lifeline.

I would like to thank the team who joined the trek to raise money for Lifeline and take this opportunity to thank everyone, especially Brian hilton Motor Group and other businesses and individuals from the Central Coast who supported and sponsored me in raising this final amount.
