Work History
Apprentice Mechanic
Kloster Volkswagen Cardiff
01.2020 - Current
I carried out my 4 year apprenticeship at Cardiff Volkswagen, and now currently work there as a qualified mechanic.
During my time at this workplace i have carried out many basic and major repairs on vehicles, and have a moderate understanding of diagnosis and am generally capable of undertaking most if not all tasks with confidence, if unsure i generally seek advice from a senior mechanic or if available handbooks/online instructions.
At my current place of work i have also learnt skills outside of being a general mechanic such as the ability to perform wheel alignments, change and fit tyres and balance them
