Automotive Technician
Mar 2022 - now
- Diagnosed vehicle concerns using driver reports, visual inspection, scan data, service history, and test results; confirmed the fault before recommending parts or labor.
- Performed oil, lubrication, tire, brake, battery, fluid, and scheduled maintenance to manufacturer procedures; returned vehicles with completed checks and recorded service evidence.
- Repaired mechanical and electrical faults with tool control, specifications, torque values, and post-repair testing; verified that the original concern was resolved without introducing a new safety issue.
- Compared diagnostic trouble codes with live sensor readings, confirmed the failed component through the service-manual test, and completed a post-repair road test before returning the vehicle.
- Owned an electrical diagnosis using approved repair procedures and voltage measurements, resolved an intermittent connector fault and completed the post-repair road-test checklist.
- Published maintenance handoff notes using verified fault codes, reduced repeat diagnostic requests by 20% and retained the exact tests supporting the repair decision.
