@nicholasbeda
Automotive Technician delivering expert diagnostics, repairs, and customer-focused service across vehicle systems.
What I'm looking for
I bring “10 plus years” of customer service and automotive repair experience, combining mechanical, technical, and computer proficiency. I’m known for conducting inspections, diagnosing issues, and scoping instruments to deliver accurate, high-quality results.
In my recent role at Carvana (Tech 3), I handle advanced vehicle diagnostics and complex mechanical/electrical repairs, including heavy bodywork and major driveline/transmission fixes. I also support quality control with detailed data entry and mentorship, ensuring repairs meet strong standards across systems.
Across MCI and Midas, I performed maintenance inspections, tune-ups, oil changes, and a wide range of troubleshooting on gas and diesel fleet vehicles plus light vehicles. My work spans suspension, brakes, electronics, and AC, and I follow manufacturer guidelines when replacing parts or making adjustments.
Earlier, at Adams’s Auto Repair, I focused on hybrid system vehicles (including Prius), completing hybrid battery testing and repair, head gaskets, and engine rebuilds. I’ve also led teams and operations as a Manager and marketplace professional—training staff, managing inventory/budgets, and using sales and shipping data to improve performance.
