01-Dec 04 L@M Lorryworx-pyle
Vehicle mechanic
My duties were to service diagnose/repair all types of motor vehicles.
jobs from simple servicing to full engine overhaul strip down and rebuild even to mot standard. Whilst working i was training in welding/fabrication to boost my credentials in automotive industry, for sometimes welding played a big part in mot testing.
Other duties were to go out on roadside breakdowns to our customers and repair or retrieve the vehicle.
Whilst working for L@M i used the snap on diagnosis machine on occasions where needed to for more precise and pinpoint accuracy so it would be a much faster process in resulting the customer would not be inconvenience.
Started to undertake complete and part resprays on the trucks and trailers using traditional methods.
I was disappointed to leave the company has it was like a family providing a service to the public when needed but unfortunately the company went bankrupt forcing myself and others to move on.
Jan 96-Jun01 ATS EURO MASTER -PORT TALBOT
Tyre/Exhaust Technician
Tyre/Exhaust technician was the initial role but through time and training spent at ATS i was servicing/repairing all types of motor vehicles up to the standard of MOT.
The job would vary from day to day as it was a fast fit centre simple roles as replacing exhaust to replacing ball joints front/rear brake components suspension components and welding for mot testing.
As time went on i would use the customer database to book appointments meet and greet them but eventually the job itself became a sales target game not that i didnt meet my targets if any i beat them but it was the thought of trying to sell a customer something they were believed to need did not. Therefore my thoughts were to regain the mechanical ground i trained so hard to gain and move on to a job where i could do my job properly.
Without losing the customers trust i gained through my job.
Needless to say some of the best qualities i learned came from this job such has customer satisfaction punctuality reliability and most important trust.
