      Automotive Service Technician

      On a day-to-day basis, my job entails what most 4th years apprentices's would expect: oil changes, tires, brakes, and assisting licensed technicians. There is the exception when a transmission needs to be overhauled or cylinder head torn apart for machining. Currently progressing with service advising to develop more cross training within the industry. At Midas, there isn't just ONE thing I've been exposed to.
