Re: Application for Automotive Technician
Dear Hiring Manager,

I am applying for the Automotive Technician position at Precision Auto Care. I am ASE certified in brakes, engine performance and electrical systems with five years of shop experience.

I diagnose and repair domestic and import vehicles using scan tools and manufacturer service data. I average 45 billed hours per week and keep comeback rates low by double-checking every repair.

I own a full set of professional tools, explain repairs clearly to service advisors and customers, and keep a clean, organized bay.

Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the chance to talk about how I can help your team.

Sincerely,
Jane Doe
