Summary
I worked with small engines for over 10 years. I got the chance to work with diesel engines at AAA maintaining and repairing vehicles problems. From small repairs to full fair downs and diagnostics. I moved to Penske to continue learning as much as possible. I currently feels like I learned a lot here and not much room for technician growth here. I’ve gone to road calls and help member out while being stranded. To being team player and filling in for a member that handles his on fleet. I just want to continue learning as much as possible and do great work!
