The 2019 Australian Automotive Aftermarket excellence awards ceremony was held at Crown Palladium in Melbourne on April 4, and mechanic.com.au managing director Ryan Davis was awarded the Kim Aunger Young Achiever award.

The awards recognise innovation and outstanding contribution to the Australian Automotive Aftermarket industry.

“This would not have been possible if not for the thousands of mechanics across Australia that made mechanic.com.au – the home of Australia’s mechanics, the collaborate and vibrant community it is today,” says Davis.

“Each and every member of mechanic.com.au plays a pivotal role in defining our organisation’s culture.”

The Kim Aunger Young Achiever award is named after Kim Aunger, former president of the AAAA National Council. Aunger tragically died in the prime of his automotive career.

The award has been presented to young achievers under 35 who demonstrate leadership, vision and innovation to make a positive impact on the industry and their peers.

“I’m truly honoured to have been recognised with this prestigious award, it really makes all the hard work and late nights worthwhile.”

“Mechanic.com.au is just getting started, we’re going to be making some big moves, so watch this space!” adds Davis, when asked about the future.

Davis congratulates the other award recipients, nothing that there were some deserving winners and organisations receiving recognition for their achievements and efforts in the industry.
