BACKGROUND

Andrew gained his Automotive Service Technician Red Seal in February 2022 after starting back in January 2017. After leaving University to pursue a career as a mechanic, he enrolled at SAIT in a pre-employment program called Diesel Equipment Technician (DET); where he furthered his skills in electrical, mechanical and hydraulic in heavy duty vehicles. With the downturn of the economy in 2014/15 he continued his career working in a construction rental company where he maintained small diesel equipment.

Looking to further hone his skills, he transitioned to Kal-Tire as an Automotive Technician apprentice. After two years working with suspension, alignments and tires, he then moved to Courtesy Chrysler where he specialized in trim work, diesel diagnosis and warranty work. Andrew credits the most important lessons learned to be the client-focused side of the dealership. From how it strives to exceed client expectations, all the way down to the nuts and bolts of automotive anatomy.
