  • Working here since I arrived has taught me several things about cars. What I have learned so far is how to prepare a car before being painted, how to do medium-sized bodywork, how to do pre- and post-scans on vehicles, and how to tape a car before painting. I have also worked with the ADAS machine, as well as taken apart and put together every kind of car. Last but not least, I know how to weld plastic, meaning I can repair bumpers even if they are completely broken.
  • I would also like to mention that I was learning how to use the CCCONE as a repair platform, as well as ALLDATA; using ALLDATA and the scanner, I was able to fix some electrical problems by using the diagrams of the car.
