I am a hard working and driven automotive technician. I enjoy coming into work everyday, and I am happiest when I am elbow deep in the engine bay, covered in dirt. I worked at an independent repair shop in California for almost a year, where I attained invaluable experience and knowledge from my Master Tech certified bosses and coworkers. I completed all kinds of jobs from basic services to challenging big jobs, on all makes and models. Thus, I am competent and able to do a high majority of repairs. I am confident with most diagnostics using a scan tool. I can complete an entire work order with multiple jobs, as well as communicate with service writer about repair and parts needed in a timely and quality manner.
I graduated from the Automotive Technician program at UEI in Oceanside, California on June 22, 2022 where I completed 9 months of hands on training. Here in Texas, I worked at a european auto shop, and an all model independent shop, as well as Onion Creek VW for the past 8 months working in Main Line.
I owned a 2002 BMW 330i which was my project car in school, turned daily driver. I learned a lot about that generation of bimmers and have come to love working on them. I pulled the engine out of my current second generation Toyota 4runner to replace the head gaskets, replace clutch, and seal the engine.
I am extremely passionate about working on cars! I have dabbled in various career paths in my life, but nothing has excited and motivated me more than the auto world! I also am very open to learning and have no problems asking questions or for help. I just want to learn as much as possible. My goal is to be a master technician one day.
As a main line technician at VW i was responsible for diagnosing all my own cars, making sure parts were quoted and repairing them. Warranty and customer pay. Worked on all makes and models of VW with the exception of classic air cooled engines. I have gotten to know these cars pretty well, and usually can guess what the issue is just by the model. I repaired everything on the car from electrical issues to replacing the entire engine to timing. Proud to say I take pride in my work, and make sure it is done right so I have never had any major comebacks or failures due to my work.
Worked on a variety of (mostly new) European makes: Porsche, Jaguar, Range Rover, Audi, VW, BMW, Mercedes
