Gateway 2023

By Niall Alexander | Posted: Thursday August 24, 2023

Throughout Gateway this year I have had the opportunity to be hosted by Cooke Howlison Toyota.

During my placement I have spent every Wednesday at the workshop learning about cars and trucks and how to keep them maintained and running properly.

I have spent most of my time learning skills to service cars under supervision. I have completed some installation and fittings of accessories such as bull bars, side steps and side rails. It has been great to have the staff keen and willing to pass on knowledge to help me understand what being a mechanic would be like if I take it up as a career. 

For anyone looking at doing the Gateway experience, I would highly recommend it as you get to learn a lot which can give you an advantage going into your career choice.
