Within 18 months I was offered the Parts Manager’s position at Auto West Infiniti.
One reason for being offered the Parts Manager’s position after such a short time in the auto industry was that I had taken the Automotive Service Operations Specialist program. The Automotive Training Centre gave me the knowledge and foundation I needed to succeed in the automotive industry!
