About Us
Nick Thomas - Co-Owner
Hi, I’m Nick Thomas, Founder of Ashmore RWC and Automotive Services. I started as an apprentice mechanic over 15 years ago, initially employed at a multi-franchise dealer specialising in Subaru, Mitsubishi and Suzuki. Since then I’ve worked as both a mechanic and manager of a number of tyre and auto stores in various locations across the Gold Coast & Brisbane, working on a huge range of car makes and models. I also had a stint in the mines in Perth working on trucks, drill rigs and auxiliary equipment. Tired of being pushed to hit store performance indicators and not having the option to shop around for car parts to give customers a better deal, I opened Ashmore RWC and Automotive in 2015.

Hi, I’m Adam Gillespie, Director of Ashmore RWC and Automotive Services. I was initially employed at a multi-franchise dealer specialising in Used cars, Mitsubishi and Nissan. Since then I’ve worked as both Sales manager and Pre delivery coordinator for a number of High end Franchise car dealerships and auto stores in various locations across the Gold Coast & Brisbane working with a huge range of car makes and models. But after being pressured day in and day out to hit Sales performance targets and not having the option to provide the right service I joined Nick at Ashmore RWC and Automotive in 2023 To make an actual difference in the way we help customers.
