Alex Morena
Auto Mechanic Position
Dear Hiring Manager,
I'm applying for the Auto Mechanic role at Northwind Auto. Over 8 years across dealership and independent-shop work, I hold ASE Master + L1 Advanced Level, average 52 flat-rate hours per week (2,600+ annually), and maintain a comeback rate below 1.8%.
My scope covers driveability diagnostics, hybrid systems, transmission R&R, and ADAS calibration. I've mentored two techs through their ASE certification cycle.
Northwind's Toyota/Lexus focus is exactly the environment where I want to contribute next. I'd welcome a conversation about the fit.
Thanks for your time — I'd welcome the chance to talk further.
Best regards,
Alex Morena
