Pirtek Bass Coast Servicing a Key part of Victoria

Pirtek Bass Coast is operated and owned by husband and wife team, Andrew Maisey and Clare Patton. Pirtek Bass Coast operates as a Mobile Only Service covering the entire Bass Coast region in Victoria. It is the 97th Pirtek operation to open in Australia and opened operations in August, 2020.

Andrew moved to Sydney in 1998 from New Zealand where he completed his light auto apprenticeship. In 2005 Andrew moved to Melbourne to start his career in V8 Supercars by joining the PWR Racing Supercar Team as a No. 2 mechanic. Andrew’s consequent roles in Supercars included being in Tasman Motorsport as a No. 1, working for Tony D’Alberto Racing as a No. 1/Crew Chief and being part of Prodrive Racing DVS and main game as a No. 1. From 2017 till 2020. Andrew stepped out of Supercars to join Audi Sport Customer Racing as part of GT/TCR motorsports.

Outside of work Andrew met his wife Clare in 2008, a Phillip Island native, and in 2017 both welcomed their first son Ethan.

In 2019, Andrew and his family decided to make a move back to the family farm in Phillip Island. Considering their options, Andrew, thinking outside of the square and seeing the demand for hydraulic hose service during his time in motorsport, saw what a great opportunity a Pirtek Franchise offered the area.

Andrew says that there have been some obstacles with setting up, especially due to the COVID-19 situation in his first year operating Pirtek Bass Coast in 2020, but with Pirtek’s support, everything has come together nicely in the end. Andrew and his family have successfully cemented their new business and life on the Island and supporting the local community.
