Certified, Hands-On, Ready to Turn Wrenches

Fresh out of Bay Valley Technical Institute's Automotive & Diesel Technology program — ASE-certified, trained on real vehicles, and looking for a shop or fleet that needs a technician who shows up ready to work. Also open to small jobs while I build experience.

About

No Paid Jobs Yet — Real Hours On Real Vehicles

This section is built to carry Eli's real story — the program completed, the hours logged in the shop bay, and the specific vehicles worked on during school and an externship. No employer history yet isn't the same as no experience, and this page is built to show the difference.

Every certification below links out to the real ASE lookup — a claim you can check, not just take on faith.

Signature Element

Work Orders, Not a Portfolio

Real vehicles, real diagnostic codes, real hours logged during school and an externship — presented the way the trade already documents work, not as a stock photo gallery.

Skills

What I Can Actually Do

The section structure a real trade-grad site needs — specific enough for a shop owner to know exactly what they're getting.

Pad and rotor replacement, brake fluid service, and ABS system basics.

03

Diesel Systems

DEF, DPF, and EGR service, regen cycles, and turbo system diagnosis.

05

Scheduled Maintenance

Oil changes, fluid services, and multi-point inspections done right, every time.

06

Open For Work

Accepting apprenticeship & entry-level interviews, plus small paid jobs while I build experience.
