Summary

Im experienced with diagnosing and repairing a wide range of vehicle issues. Utilizing technical expertise and hands-on skills to ensure efficient and accurate maintenance. Working in the field has given me many opportunities to learn and gain knowledge on many different vehicle types and different automotive systems. Since graduating from my tech school, my first want was to go to an Audi and VW dealership. I decided to learn more on general vehicle repair and maintenance first. My first engine rebuild was an Audi TT Mk1 and i would love to have the experience of working on my favorite motors again. Repair and scheduled maintenance come as second nature along with most tire services. I would very much like the opportunity to show and to prove that i can and will perform great on the shop floor like an Audi performs best on the road
