I am writing to apply for the Dealership Technician position at your dealership. I have hands-on experience in automotive maintenance from my time at Southwest Coating Service, I am a graduated Automotive Technology student at Southwestern Michigan College with hands-on shop experience, and practical experience working on my own car. I look forward to the opportunity to continue growing my skills while contributing to your service team. 

While working for Southwest Coating Service, I worked extensively on Mini Coopers as well as any other car that came in. I completed a good variety of maintenance and repair as well as a 100 point inspection after each car was done. These responsibilities taught me how to work carefully and efficiently with vehicles, while also following the proper procedures and ensuring safety. In addition, I regularly perform all work needed on my vehicle, further strengthening my ability to troubleshoot and solve problems independently. 

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my experience and goals align with your dealership. I can be reached best by phone at (269) 921-6251 or email at calebsteinkraus@icloud.com.
