Maurice Pride is a self-confessed car tragic which is why his job as a senior technician operating out of the O'Brien\u00ae<\/sup> AutoGlass Launceston branch in Tasmania suits him perfectly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m around cars all day and I couldn\u2019t be happier,\u201d said Maurice.<\/p>\n

Maurice, who was born and bred in Tasmania, has worked for O'Brien\u00ae<\/sup> for 13 years. His role is to repair or replace the windscreens<\/a> of cars in and around the Launceston area.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can travel up to 200km each day and I meet a lot of different people from different walks of life. Just the other day an elderly lady told me her life story while I was fixing her car. I\u2019ve been doing this job for so long that I have customers recognise me at BBQs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maurice likes providing excellent customer service and says he doesn\u2019t have favourite jobs to do; rather he enjoys doing what needs to be done when it needs to be done. Although, he does mention working on the Targa Tasmania race vehicles as a career highlight.<\/p>\n

\u201cTarga Tasmania is an annual car race for boys with toys. A whole lot of vehicles take part in different races all across the state for a whole week. It\u2019s not uncommon to see Ferraris and Lamborghinis kitted out as race cars and ridden around the track.\u201d<\/p>\n

A love for cars runs in Maurice\u2019s family and he has restored his grandfather’s 1970 HG Holden Kingswood and his dad\u2019s 1976 Datsun 1500cc Ute.<\/p>\n

Maurice lives in Georgetown which is 50km north of Launceston and outside of work you\u2019ll find him fishing or cruising around in his 1976 Datsun.<\/p>\n

\u201cTasmania is a great place to drive around. The scenery is amazing. There is nothing quite like seeing Cradle Mountain coated in snow.\u201d<\/p>\n

O'Brien technicians are experts in chip repair and windscreen replacement, so if you need your windscreen repaired, and Maurice is not around to help you can rest assured that you\u2019re in good hands with any of our experts. Just call 1800 059 829<\/a>\u00a0or book online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
