Summary

Qualified motor vehicle technician currently working at Volkswagen Tunbridge Wells where my role includes diagnosing various mechanical and electrical faults as well as general servicing and maintenance.

In my free time I am carrying out an extensive restoration on a 1971 VW Beetle, involving structural welding, fabrication and a full engine rebuild. I also have a 1983 VW Jetta and a 1967 Reliant Scimitar which are undergoing rolling restorations, as well as building a track focused race car. I have a passion for all things mechanical, whether classic, performance or modified cars.

While I have enjoyed my time at Volkswagen I am now seeking a new set of challenges and to expand my

mechanical, electrical and diagnostic knowledge.
