It is always my goal to learn the most about my business to help push us forward to achieve our goals.

We offer repairs on everything from suspension, brakes, seals and gaskets to replacement of batteries, tires and fluid exchanges (trans, coolant, power steering and brake). It is also my job to assess what a customer is comfortable paying for an how to approach a customer while asking for a sale.

After another year of being a shift leader, I was then offered an Assistant Manager position. As the Assistant I was responsible for all the previous duties as a Shift Leader, with these duties added:
