About
Motivated and practical young person with a strong interest in vehicles, vehicle maintenance, mechanics and how mechanical and electrical systems work. Keen to begin a career in the automotive industry through an Autocare Technician apprenticeship and develop practical skills through hands-on training. Recent vehicle workshop experience has given me practical exposure to removing wheels, replacing brake pads and wheel bearings, changing headlights and removing parking sensors.
I enjoy practical work, solving problems and understanding how components work together. I am reliable, attentive to detail and comfortable listening to experienced technicians, following instructions and asking questions when needed. I also have experience working with technical equipment and components, including hardware upgrades, component replacement, programming and quality testing.
I am keen to learn new diagnostic, servicing and repair skills and build a long-term career as an automotive technician.
