Dear Arthur Pendelton,
At Apex Fleet Services, I diagnose and repair 22 vehicles a week with a 96 percent comeback-free rate using advanced OBD-II scanners. I want to bring this same level of precision to the mechanic position at Front Range Truck and Van, especially as your shop expands its commercial maintenance contracts across the Denver area.
