Justin Bard
I'm interested in building a long-term career in the automotive industry. I began my journey at Discount Tire, where I've gained hands-on experience with tire installation, wheel balancing, TPMS systems, and providing quality customer service. That experience has given me a strong foundation and sparked my interest in learning more about how vehicles work beyond the tire and wheel side of the business.
I'm now looking to expand my knowledge on the mechanical side of automotive repair by learning about brakes, suspension, steering, engine systems, diagnostics, and vehicle maintenance. My goal is to continue developing my technical skills, gain hands-on experience, and grow into a well-rounded automotive technician with the ability to diagnose and repair a wide range of vehicle issues.
