Summary
I'm a hard-working individual with an unprecedented desire to grow and improve. My current skill set is made up primarily of auto diagnosis, repair, and maintenance but I'm always looking to expand that skillset as I progress through my career. I'm 28 years old and I have an accumulated 4.5 years of professional automotive repair experience under my belt but I was born and raised in my father's professional auto repair business so technically, I've been in auto repair my entire life! I'm optimistic that my acquired skills/abilities coupled with my desires to learn/grow will make me a valued asset to your team and propel me down a career I can be proud of. I look forward to meeting you.
Thank you,
Andrew
