Summary

I recently completed a 4-year Automotive Engineering program at Oxnard College, where I learned how vehicles work and how to maintain and repair them properly. Although I don’t have experience working in a dealership yet, I have hands-on experience working on my own car, my family's cars, and friends with their vehicle repairs. I’m comfortable and have done a basic task such as oil changes, brakes and tires replacements, fluid checks, and general vehicle inspections. I am now ready to start my career as an automotive technician. I know there is still a lot to learn, but I am highly motivated, dependable, and willing to work hard every day. I am serious about growing my skills and knowledge to become a skilled and trusted technician in the automotive industry. My goal is to join a dealership team where I can gain real-world experience, learn from experienced professionals, and contribute to providing quality service to customers. I am excited to take on new challenges and see how far I can progress in this career.
