Jake started tinkering in the Allan's Automatics shed not long after he learnt to walk. He completed his apprenticeship with the business after finishing high school and has continued to master the ins and outs of transmissions, drivelines and the trade.

A short conversation with Jake is enough to see his passion and knowledge of the automotive industry shine through. His ability to educate both our team and our customers is the backbone of what makes Allan's Automatics so great.

What the team says about him: Understanding and patient, with excellent knowledge and always willing to teach. Meme King, but definitely not to be trusted with paperwork.

Nicola has more than 15 years of experience in the automotive industry, having worked as an administrator, service adviser and parts interpreter in both Cape York and Cairns.

What the team says about her: She brings mummy energy, making sure everyone is supported and happy. She keeps everything running smoothly.

Connor is the social butterfly of the Allan’s Automatics team, so you’ll often see him out and about at events.

Luke is a qualified technician and transmission builder here at Allan's Automatics. He has been a valuable team member for more than seven years.

A rose among the thorns, Emily is one of our apprentices. She’s a fantastic role model for young girls and women wanting to succeed in a male-dominated industry.

What the team says about him: Approachable, always willing to lend a hand and get stuck in.

Ethan is quiet and steady, but watch out for his one-liners. One of the new kids on the block, he started his apprenticeship with us in 2025. He’s a fast learner and always asks great questions.

In his free time, you’ll find him at the beach with his blue Staffy, Cora, or at the driving range hitting some balls.

What the team says about him: A great bloke, patient, respectful and hardworking, with a reserved but excellent sense of humour.

Nos has been the part-time foreman at Allan’s Automatics for almost seven years, and while he might not hold a spanner, he’s still an essential part of the team.

Known for his exceptional people skills, Nos welcomes customers with a wag and a grin, and he only accepts payment in pats.

What the team says about him: He can get a bit smelly and leaves plenty of hair around the place, but he’s a very good boy.
