Summary

Fully qualified vehicle technician/ mechanic who is able to carry out a wide range of repairs and who prides themselves in doing the job correctly and to the highest standards. My background is varied between dealership training during my apprenticeship which was at Arnold Clark Vauxhall & Arnold Clark Peugeot and then 8 years at an independent garage which has given me great experience working on all makes and models. I then owned my own business for 8 years which was vehicle servicing & repair, MOT & diagnostics which I both ran and carried out all the work within that business myself and then sold in January 2024. Since then I have worked at an insurance accident/ repair centre as a MET/ crash repair technician.
