  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • I work on a variety of vechicles, all different makes and models and it would consist of all sorts of jobs such as: services, tyre repairs, trackings, clutches, alternators. It also involves me watching the other techs so I can get a greater view of how things are done properly
