Summary
Adept Heavy Line Automotive Technician with a proven track record at Stevinson Hyundai. Started as a lot tech and worked up into the shop and then after over 3 years moved to the parts department. Not long after, the dealerships shop experienced a mass exodus and I was asked to leave my parts clerk position to resume work as a tech. I then significantly reduced vehicle downtime for engine replacement from 2-3 months to less than two weeks on average by the time I vacated that position. My expertise in engine and transmission replacement, coupled with a strong work ethic and exceptional problem-solving skills, ensured high-quality service and customer satisfaction.
