  • Learned a lot of extremely important skills here and grew a lot as a person and as a employee
  • Constant maintenance of show including cleaning and washing floors greasing equipment
  • Ran for parts in a timely and efficient matter
  • Worked under pressure with strict time lines and no room for error
  • Helped journeymen mechanics with jobs and towards the end started doing jobs myself. Although I didn’t do a substantial amount of wrenching for customers here I learned a lot about working on vehicles, mostly my own truck, from all the team members here. This really helped me grow my problem solving and determination skills and wrenching on customer vehicles allowed me to show I could be trusted to a certain level of quality work.
