What I'm looking for

I’m looking for hands-on shop work where I can service and detail vehicles with pride. I want a reliable team, clear expectations, and the chance to keep improving—while staying accountable from customer communication to the final finish.

I’m an auto technician focused on getting vehicles back to customers quickly and correctly. I’ve handled oil tech work for cars, pickups, generators, and fleet trucks, including installing batteries, replacing tires, replacing turbos, and replacing coolant reservoirs.

I also bring strong hands-on detailing skills—detail and wash cars, buff scratched/damaged areas, apply touch-up paint, and buff headlights when needed. I communicate on issues (like chips or runs) and coordinate with the paint team so cars get released properly.

Beyond the shop, I’ve built a dependable work style through varied roles: concrete finishing (setting and wrecking forms, using a bobcat bucket), vegetation management (tree treatment with cambistat and root-system measurement with a probe), and team leadership as a manager where I planned ingredients, prepped dough, and ran service for events and weddings.
