Get to Know Me

I’m Melissa Hannan, an automotive mechanic who has spent 18 years in the industry. I have been qualified for 12 years and a WOF technician for 10 years. I have a huge passion for the automotive scene and imported my 1959 Chevrolet Parkwood 10 years ago, which is my absolute pride and joy. My motivation is to break stigmas, empower women, and help them gain the confidence they deserve with their vehicles. I hope that after this course you will feel empowered, independent, and, most of all, proud when you walk out the door! Keep smashing your goals and remember — 'you can do anything!
