Kiera Maher-Kay

New Car Specialist

I’ve been in the automotive industry for just over three years, starting in automotive parts and accessories sales and most recently as a Service Advisor. I’ve gained broad exposure across multiple brands and love being part of the entire customer journey. My biggest passion is learning about cars and their features. I’m always excited to explore new technology and innovations in the industry. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking and learning new recipes, as well as spending time with my friends, family, and my pet cat Camille. My philosophy around customer service is simple: build genuine trust through honesty, clear communication, and going the extra mile. I believe every customer should feel listened to, respected, and excited about their purchase, whether it’s a service or their next new car.

New Car Specialist

With 10 years in customer service behind me, including the last 18 months in auto sales at Toyota, I know what it takes to make a buying experience feel genuinely worth your time. I grew up in North East Victoria and have a real passion for combat sports. I'm a UFC fan and a participant in the sport myself. For me, great service is the kind worth telling your loved ones about. That means making sure you feel understood and heard, never just another number in the queue.

Connor Piper

Connor Piper

New Car Specialist

With more than five years in sales and a recent move to Brisbane from regional NSW, I've built my career around helping people through one of the most significant purchases of their year. I grew up in a household obsessed with cars, and that obsession was passed straight down to me. Outside work, I keep active with social sports, the gym, or long walks with friends. I put the customer first, always. My goal is to make the process enjoyable from your first conversation right through to driving away in your new car, confident and happy with your choice.

Chris Loader

New Car Specialist

With over a decade in the automotive industry, I've built my career on a simple customer service philosophy: transparency and trust matter more than transactions. I treat every client with the same integrity, regardless of the vehicle or the need, so the experience feels seamless from the first conversation through to delivery. Beyond the showroom, my passions are personal development, working out, and exploring the great outdoors, whether that's camping, overlanding, or hiking with my family.

Adam Micati

Adam Micati

New Car Specialist

Ten years in the automotive industry have shaped one core principle for me: trust and transparency matter far more than the transaction. Every client gets that same standard, whatever the vehicle. Outside the workplace, my passions are personal development, working out, and the great outdoors, especially camping, overlanding, and hiking with family. My approach is simple: be honest, clear, and helpful. I take the time to understand what you really need and tailor the right solution, so you walk away feeling good about the decision.

Tristan Eames

Tristan Eames

New Car Specialist

Ten years in the automotive industry have taken me across just about every kind of vehicle, from everyday used cars to premium luxury brands. For the last six, I've focused on guiding customers through the new car journey from start to finish. There's real satisfaction in taking something that can feel overwhelming and making it straightforward, clear, and even a little exciting. Outside work, I'm usually keeping up with the latest automotive tech, or spending time with family and friends. My approach comes down to honesty, respect, and genuine care. For me, the relationship doesn't end at delivery; earning your trust for the long term is what matters most.

Sam Gallagher

New Car Specialist

I'm new to the automotive industry but no stranger to high performance, or to looking after customers. Almost three years in sales has taught me what great service feels like, and I bring that same standard to everyone I work with. Outside work, I'm a professional cyclist who has competed and won internationally, and I build and race road motorcycles in my spare time. A love of two wheels in every form. That competitive spirit shapes how I look after customers. My philosophy is simple: treat every person as though they're your only customer, with the full attention and guidance they deserve at every step of the journey.

Martin Judd

Martin Judd

New Car Specialist

With 15 years in car sales across brands like Honda, Mazda, and Ford, my focus has always been on finding the right car for the right job, not just the easiest match. Outside work, I play baseball for Pine Rivers Rapids and follow my family through their club and rep games. I'm also competitive in online sim racing, particularly in GR86 and GT3 class. I'm a customer focused consultant at heart. That means taking the time to understand what you actually need, and introducing options you might not have considered at first.

Izabell Hunt

New Car Delivery Specialist

I have more than five years' experience in the automotive industry, having previously worked for BMW and Mercedes-Benz in roles across service desk, vehicle purchasing and vehicle valuations. I’m deeply customer-focused and approach interactions with empathy, ensuring customers feel heard, valued, and supported. Effective communication is extremely important to me, so I place a strong emphasis on building genuine rapport and meaningful connections with all of my customers. I consistently strive to go above and beyond in my commitment to advocating for customers. Cars, sports and film are my passions outside of work and consume much of my time on weekends. In both my professional and personal life, I’m driven by a genuine desire to support others and create a sense of comfort and trust.

Lee Schultz

New Car Finance Specialist

My career in the financial industry has spanned more than 10 years, working in brokerage firms with a specialist focus on regulatory compliance and financial products. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my young family and travelling to iconic destinations. I’m also a bit of a foodie, so you’ll usually find me eating out at a nice restaurant or trying my hand at the latest culinary dish. I believe that being real and relatable to my customers is important in building relationships, and I’m committed to making the customer experience as seamless and easy as possible.

Yass Benjamin

New Car Finance Specialist

For more than 30 years, I've worked across diverse financial products. What I love most about my job is getting to work with a variety of people who are all at different stages of reaching their financial goals. I'm passionate about cars and motorbikes and even own a retro Honda CB400 with VTEC. I enjoy spending time with my family and always aim to be the best human I can possibly be. 'Work hard, play hard' is my motto, and it has certainly been a successful mantra because each day brings a new complex finance problem to solve.

Leah Hatcher

Leah Hatcher

New Car Specialist

With several years in retail automotive, I've learned that the best buying experiences come down to really understanding people: what they need, what matters to them, and how to make the process feel easy. My passion for cars started young, holding the flashlight for Dad in the garage. Today my partner and I build JDM cars together, so that enthusiasm carries into every conversation I have with customers. My approach is simple: treat people the way I'd want to be treated, with respect, transparency, and real support every step of the way.

Jacob Waters

Jacob Waters

New Car Specialist

I learned the ropes across sales and aftercare at Hyundai, and the biggest lesson was this: honest communication makes the whole process easier for everyone. I'm here to help you find the right car for you, not just the flashiest one. If you appreciate someone who's upfront, responsive, and focused on making things smooth, you'll be in good hands. And if you're juggling young kids, same here — so I really do understand the need for efficiency.

Jackson Hunt

Jackson Hunt

New Car Specialist

Brisbane-raised with a Melbourne upbringing, I've always loved connecting with people from all walks of life, and that shapes how I approach every customer conversation. The car world has been mine since counting down to my licence at 15. The 4x4 scene is where my passion runs deepest, though an Audi RS6 is firmly on the dream list — and I'm a devoted Boston Celtics fan, in case you want a long conversation. With nine years of customer service behind me, I joined CarExpert to bring a genuine people-first approach to helping Australians find their next new car.

David Robinson

New Car Specialist

Over the last five years I've sold everything from Mitsubishi to Ferrari, and the one thing I believe in most is service worth telling your friends about. I'm here to understand what you actually need, give honest guidance, and help you feel confident in your choice without pressure or sales spin. The experience I aim for is personal, helpful, and memorable — the kind you'll genuinely want to recommend.

Daniel Wright

Daniel Wright

New Car Specialist

With more than two decades in automotive, I know how to make the buying process simple, reliable, and genuinely enjoyable for every customer who comes my way. Outside work, I'm a proud Brisbane Lions supporter and spend a lot of my time playing bass across a few different music projects. My approach is to do the small things well, follow through on what I say, and stay accountable every step of the way — so the bigger things take care of themselves.

Craig Nicholson

Craig Nicholson

New Car Specialist

With 28 years in the automotive industry, I've built my career on one belief: the customer comes first, always. People remember how the experience felt, and that's where I focus. Outside work, you'll find me on my motorbike, watching the footy, or tuned into the NFL. The energy I bring to the things I love is the same energy I bring to work every day. What you'll get from me is a great deal, every step looked after, and a process that feels smooth, transparent, and worth your time.

Blair Greasley

New Car Specialist

With more than five years in automotive, I focus on making the buying process smooth, efficient, and stress-free from start to finish. Outside work you'll find me restoring vintage cars and motorcycles, or out cooking, travelling, taking photos, or volunteering — all things that keep me curious and detail-focused. My promise is straightforward: save you time, communicate clearly, and make sure you feel confident and well looked after the whole way through.

Ali Mireskandari

Ali Mireskandari

Team Leader - NSW, ACT

I joined the automotive industry in February 1996 as a Toyota sales trainee in Sydney, and I haven't looked back since. Over three decades I've built experience across sales, training, and customer service with brands like Toyota, Lexus, Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. After 30 years I was ready for a fresh challenge, and CarExpert has reignited a passion I didn't expect. My philosophy is simple: love what you do and be the best at it. That means listening carefully, understanding what matters to you, and building the kind of trust that brings customers back.

Joshua Harris

Joshua Harris

Team Leader - VIC, SA, TAS

I grew up on a farm in North-West Tasmania surrounded by tractors, motorbikes, and utes, so cars have been part of my DNA from day one. Today I use that lifelong love of all things mechanical to help you enjoy a completely stress-free buying experience. If you know exactly what you want, great — I'll find it. If you're still deciding, take your time and I'll guide you without pressure. And if you like a laugh, I spent time in the comedy scene, so good banter is guaranteed.

Michael Barnes

Michael Barnes

Team Leader - QLD, NT, WA

When you feel heard and supported, we find the right answer faster.
