A1 Mechanical and Exhaust

Some people have difficulty talking about themselves, especially when it’s anything to do with talking themselves up. After meeting up with him last week, that’s fair to say of Daren Golding. He’s a pretty layback type of guy who seems content to let his work speak for itself. A pretty unassuming fellow on face value, but clearly one who takes pride in the way he goes about his business. He’s just recently taken over  A1 Mechanical and Exhaust and here’s what he had to say for himself when I asked him about his new venture.

Daren Golding certainly knows his stuff, having spent 30 years working as a mechanic in Orange. His reputation for doing a quality job is evident in the number of customers that have sought him out since he went out on his own three months ago.

“I’ve been flat out and it has only been by word of mouth that customers know I've come here, but every day people call up and say I only just heard you'd moved here and want to book their car in,” said Daren, who took over A1 Mechanical in  in May.

“I’d thought about it for a few years and I'd looked into it, but I was always happy where I was working, so I stayed with it. But it was time for a change and it's been good.”

At A1 Mechanical Daren and fellow mechanic Harry can look after all your light vehicle mechanical work from rego checks to all repairs and services.

Daren is not one to sell himself, but he’s confident in the quality of his work.

“It's their choice where people take their car, but if they bring it to me, they can be confident it will be fixed right!” he said.

“People just want their mechanic to do a good job and I will make it so it is done right the first time and doesn’t cost people a fortune through misdiagnosing.

 “Come here and we will look after you and your car. It will be done right!
