I can also fabricate anything that is needed for the cars, and also have experience as a pit crew coach, as well as any position on the pit crew. I am also an experienced detailer.
I have hands on experience in engine repair, alignment service, brake service, oil changes, and anything mechanical on the car I can repair and replace. I don’t have certifications but can learn and achieve anything that i put my mind towards. I have several years experience running forklifts and other machinery with three years experience in warehouse and order pulling. I also have a years experience in the plastics industry working with polyester and nylon resins, extruders, and fiber lines. I am skilled in factory and production line work and also have some knowledge in general maintenance. I get along well with others and work great on any team. I have open availability to work on any shift and can start right away.
